Answer 1

I had the same problem with MySQLdb in Mac OS X and Ubuntu, so I switched to the official MysQL Python Connector: (available on PyPI):

sudo pip install mysql-connector-python

or by download from: http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/python/

Documentation: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/connector-python.html

It's easy to use and also compatible with PEP 249 (Python DB API version 2.0).
