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

[Y Tu]

Hi Steve,

Thank you for your email. I was away for a week. 
What do you mean "fresh" python prompt?
I installed MySQL by using MYSQL-5.0.45-osx10.4-i686.dmg downloaded online. 
I guess you want me to reinstall MySQL_python_1.2.2, not MySQLdb, am I right?

Once again, thank you very much for your help..
