[DB-SIG] Installing MySQL-python on python 2.2

[Clement]

Hi Andy and Kevin,

Yes, Python 1.5.2 are Python 2.2.1 are both installed.  Python 2.1, however,
is not.

I have checked all the environment variables and there is no reference at
all to python 2.1.  I have also removed the /usr/lib/python2.1 directory
tree.

I have tried the tar ball and get the following error message:

# python2 setup.py build
