title: Installing mysql-python on Centos
body: <p>I'm trying to get the MySQL-python lib installed on centos 5.5.  I ran</p>
  
  <pre><code>sudo yum install MySQL-python
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but then when I tried:</p>
  
  <pre><code>import MySQLdb
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I get this error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "&lt;stdin&gt;", line 1, in ?
    File "MySQLdb/__init__.py", line 22, in ?
      raise ImportError("this is MySQLdb version %s, but _mysql is version %r" %
  ImportError: this is MySQLdb version (1, 2, 3, 'final', 0), \ # added linebreak
  but _mysql is version (1, 2, 1, 'final', 1)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>any clues on how to fix this?</p>
