[Distutils] easy_install MySQL_python error

[Christian Brodbeck]

Thanks to Tres and Ned for the quick help, installing form macports  
did get me a step further. Now it's having another problem which I  
can't find a solution for (readout below), but that probably belongs  
to the macports mailing list.

Cheers!
Christian
