Woot! I finally got my MySQLdb-using Python app working as a Universal Binary!
glad you got it working -- a couple comments for the record:
The root cause of most of the trouble was the broken 5.1 MySQL distribution (bug #41940 on the MySQL tracker).
Ned, thanks for posting this bug.
I tried patching it up as Ned suggested, but that didn't work for me.
see my recent post: Building MySqldb for Universal Python It worked fine for me.
3. Reinstalled MySQLdb using the easy method Ned suggested: "easy_install -Z MySQL-python". This worked fine; all the extra hackery at <http://www.mangoorange.com/2008/08/01/installing-python-mysqldb-122-on-mac-os-x/> appears to be unnecessary when you use easy_install,
Note that easy_install runs the same old "setup.py build" that you do by hand - so the bugs that that post corrects are probably fixed in the source.
By the way, I've build a binary universal egg that should be re-distributable - please let me know if you want to test it, or have a place to host it.
