1. 下载 MySQL-python-1.2.3.tar.gz
    地址 https://sourceforge.net/projects/mysql-python/

2. 安装 MySQl-python
    tar xvf MySQL-python-1.2.3.tar.gz
    cd MySQL-python-1.2.3
    vi site.cfg
    把 mysql_config = /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config 这一行前的#去掉，并且把mysql_config的路径设置正确。
    python setup.py build
    运行上面的命令报错如下：

 [root@localhost MySQL-python-1.2.3]# python setup.py  install
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "setup.py", line 5, in ?
    from setuptools import setup, Extension
ImportError: No module named setuptools

解决方法：

wget http://pypi.python.org/packages/source/s/setuptools/setuptools-0.6c11.tar.gz
tar zxvf setuptools-0.6c11.tar.gz
cd setuptools-0.6c11
python setup.py build
python setup.py install

继续安装：

python setup.py build
python setup.py install

运行测试：

 [root@localhost MySQL-python-1.2.3]# python
Python 2.4.3 (#1, Sep  3 2009, 15:37:37)

报出一大堆警告信息，解决办法：删除MySQL-python源目录，再测试一下：

 [root@localhost python]# python

Mysql模块终于正常了！
