So in order to consistently have MySQL and mysql-python working I do the following:

  1. download and install xcode (https://developer.apple.com/xcode/)
  2. go into XCode prefs and enable Command Line Tools
  3. download and install Mysql Server Community Edition (http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/5.5.html#downloads)
  4. edit my bash profile

nano ~/.bash_profile and add the following:

export ARCHFLAGS="-arch x86_64"
export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=$DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/mysql/lib
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/mysql/bin

then I can pip install MySQL-python and it works.

The reason is that the python mysql driver requires mysql to operate. On other platforms there are packages you can install such as apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev that fulfills the mysql requirement.
