Error Importing MySQLdb

[David George]

Hello there,
I have been trying for awhile now to get MySQLdb working. I am currently 
getting this error when trying to import it:

 >>> import MySQLdb

Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in File 
"build/bdist.macosx-10.7-intel/egg/MySQLdb/init.py", line 19, in File 
"build/bdist.macosx-10.7-intel/egg/_mysql.py", line 7, in File 
"build/bdist.macosx-10.7-intel/egg/_mysql.py", line 6, in bootstrap 
ImportError:

Referenced from: 
/Users/username/.python-eggs/MySQL_python-1.2.3-py2.7-macosx-10.7-intel.egg-tmp/_mysql.so 
Reason: image not found

Anyone know what I need to do in order to correct these errors.

Thanks
