It's caused by that your Python is 32bits, but somehow, the installed MySQL library is 64bits. To solve the problem, here you can install it manually with following commands:

wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/mysql-python/mysql-python/1.2.3/MySQL-python-1.2.3.tar.gz
tar xvf MySQL-python-1.2.3.tar.gz
cd MySQL-python-1.2.3
ARCHFLAGS="-arch i386" python setup.py install

With ARCHFLAGS="-arch i386", it should be compiled as i386 architecture.
