Seems you mysqldb (the Python DB-API 2.0 compatible library to access MySQL databases) installation is borked. mysqldb is composed of two layers: _mysql is a low level one, a more or less thin wrapper over the C mysql client libraries. On top of that there is mysldb itself, that uses the services of _mysql and implemets the DB-API specification. You seem to have a a corrupt copy because both pieces are released together, and when a correct installation has been performed, they are built and installed together with matching version IDs. You might find better answers in a mailing list or IRC channel devoted to mysqldb. This isn't a Django -related or -specific issue.
