[BioPython] Error for installation of MySALdb on Mac OS X

[Y Tu]

What I said: "MySQL_python_1.2.2, not MySQLdb" means to uninstall MySQL_python not the mysql client/server installed with the mpkg.

I just deleted the MYSQL....fat.egg file and downloaded the MySAL-python-1.2.2.tar. I repeated the installation process. However, when I run import MySQLdb, I got the same error message. Is there any other things I should take a look? Thank you very much.
