If you've installed the MySQLdb package from the pythonmac.org website, it should be installed under python2.4.
To make sure you're using the python 2.4 binary, change the #! line to:
#!/usr/local/bin/python2.4
If you've also installed python2.5, and haven't successfully installed MySQLdb under python2.5, your script might be using that instead. I don't know that copying the module from 2.4's site-packages into 2.5's site-packages will actually work. I kind of doubt it.
Also, if you're knowledgeable about python programming, actually use MySQLdb under whichever version it's supposed to be functioning (say, 2.4) to view the database. Make sure it's working by hand. That might be a little difficult to do, depending on your level of experience.
As far as setting the default version goes:
If you execute "echo $PATH" on the command line, does "/usr/local/bin" appear in the list? Does it appear before "/usr/bin"?
To select which python is the default, assuming /usr/local/bin is the first directory in your path to contain a listing for "python", you've got to symlink /usr/local/bin/python to whichever version of python you want to be the default version. For example:
> cd /usr/local/bin
> sudo rm python
> sudo ln -s python2.4 python

Thanks,
but that didn't workout :(
I've Installed now:
2.4.3 (didnt work)
2.5 (didn work)
did a search on MySQLdb on my drive in the /usr dir ..
found it :-)
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/site-packages
there..and copied it into
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/site-packages
But it all didn't work out ..
>> import MySQLdb
MySQLdb/__init__.py:19: RuntimeWarning: Python C API version mismatch for module _mysql: This Python has API version 1013, module _mysql has version 1012.
Then i've installed gcc 4.0 from the developer package (XCode)
/usr/bin/env gcc gives i686-apple-darwin8-gcc-4.0.1
Tried to compile ... didn't work out .. lot's of errors ..
Any tricks left ?
Regards J.

At this point I don't think there's any reason *not*
to just install [Python 2.5][py25] from python.org,
and then do the `sudo python setup.py install` routine.
There are some nifty new things in python 2.5, and as
far as I know, no issues running code for 2.3 or 2.4.
