Those are the lines that matter -- any errors after a missing header  
file aren't really even worth tracking down.

I bet MySQL-python has lines that look like:
#include <Python.h>

When it *should* have lines that look like:
#include "Python.h"

... either that, or you don't have Xcode installed, and you're missing  
the headers for Python.
