	A little Googling informs me that MySQLdb is obsolete and hasn't been 
updated since some time in 2000 (at that time, Python hadn't even 
reached 2.0, had it?).

	You should use MySQL-Python instead, which can be found here: 
http://sourceforge.net/projects/mysql-python . Chances are it's a 
standard distutils module, i.e. you install it with "sudo python 
setup.py install".
