Re: No module named django after upgrade to os x Lion

Okay, I think I've got the exact steps down needed to get this running
right. If these are actually it, I'm not sure if I had any other
prerequisites I can't think of at the moment, then it's a matter of
copying and pasting 3 lines into your terminal. (Less than 5-10
minutes total)

1. Install "Brew" (http://mxcl.github.com/homebrew/)
2. Use Brew to Install mysql-connector-c
3. Install MySQL-python

Open up your terminal and follow these steps. If you are unsure of
anything during the process, then feel free to read more information
on what these are. Google is your friend here :)

/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/gist/323731)"
brew install mysql-connector-c
sudo easy_install mysql-python

Hopefully that works for you! Good luck.
