I was using MySQL 4.1 for Mac OS X (Intel), the prebuilt installer
from MySQL's web site, and MySQLdb 1.2.1c7. The compatibility isn't
as scary as it sounds.
And oddly enough, I have just rebuilt MySQLdb yet again (doing
nothing different, as far as I can tell) and it seems to be working
with ActivePython 2.4 now.
I ought to try and recreate the non-working version (I didn't have
any problems creating a non-working version before, and I'm a bit
afraid to try and actively break things now), but the main things I
can point to are:
* the MySQL install doesn't add /usr/local/mysql/bin to the PATH,
which can cause issues for other things expecting MySQL to be there
* ActivePython's install doesn't add /usr/local/bin to the PATH, and
if it's not in your PATH before /usr/bin, then things looking for the
default install of Python get confused
although neither of these things explain the error message, which
indicates that _mysql.so is in the right place, and that the right
version of Python is being used.

Well aren't MySQLdb's instructions for MySQL version compat just
fun. :)
+ MySQL 3.23.32 or higher
* http://www.mysql.com/downloads/
* Versions lower than 3.22 definitely WON'T WORK.
* Versions lower than 3.22.19 might not work.
* MySQL-3.22 is deprecated in favor of 3.23, but still
supported.
* MySQL-3.23 is supported, but slightly deprecated.
* MySQL-4.0 is supported.
* MySQL-4.1 is mostly supported; the new prepared statements API
is not yet supported, and probably won't be until
MySQLdb-1.3 or 2.0.
* MySQL-5.0 and newer are not currently supported, but might
work.
Brett,
Which version of MySQL are you building against? Did you build
MySQL yourself
or get a prebuild from somewhere? If so where? Fink? Darwin Ports?
mysql.com?
other?
Cheers,
Trent
