Cannot install MySQL-Python

for some reason I'm unable to install the MySQL-Python package in neither my virtualenv nor in my main Python install on OS X. I'm getting the following output:

It seems you have installed MySQL 5.5.10 and Python 2.6. Current version of MySQL-python (version 1.2.3) is supported from MySQL-3.23 through 5.0. However you can try installing it via ActivePython.

If you install ActivePython to the default path, open terminal and run:

/opt/ActivePython-2.6/bin/pypm install mysql-python

I had the similar case with MySQL 5.5 and Python 2.7 on my Fedora 15 platform and it worked well for me.

---

Try redownloading the entire package and also be sure to be executing the commands in the same directory as the package. Right now MySQL cannot find the necessary files.
