The "skipping byte compilation" message simply means that you already
have a version of MySQL-python installed on that box.  Since the
distutils skipped byte compilation for *all* files, you probably already
have the exact version that you're trying to install.

You might try blowing away the existing MySQL-python installation and
starting from scratch.
