MySQL and python

Could someone assist me getting python running nicely with MySQL in unRAID 5.0rc16c. I've already managed to get MySQL running using the unMenu package mysql-5.0.67-i486-1.tgz. It is fully running and I'm able to connect to it from a Win client running MySQL Workbench.

I've been following this generic tutorial:

http://zetcode.com/db/mysqlpython/

I've downloaded and installed these packages (using installpkg ####.txz):

- python-2.6.4-i486-1.txz

- MySQL-python-1.2.4-x86_64-1ponce

I'm trying to run this really simple connection test:

#!/usr/bin/python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

import sys
print "sys.path is", sys.path
import MySQLdb as mdb

try:
con = mdb.connect('localhost', 'terastore', '.terastore.1', 'terastore');
cur = con.cursor()
cur.execute("SELECT VERSION()")
ver = cur.fetchone()
print "Database version : %s " % ver
    
except mdb.Error, e:
print "Error %d: %s" % (e.args[0],e.args[1])
sys.exit(1)

finally:    
if con:    
	con.close()

But it fails right on the MySQLdb import:

root@Tower:/mnt/disk1/test# python test.py
sys.path is ['/mnt/disk1/test', '/usr/lib/python26.zip', '/usr/lib/python2.6', '/usr/lib/python2.6/plat-linux2', '/usr/lib/python2.6/lib-tk', '/usr/lib/python2.6/lib-old', '/usr/lib/python2.6/lib-dynload', '/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages']
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "test.py", line 6, in <module>
    import MySQLdb as mdb
ImportError: No module named MySQLdb

I've googled my hear out but found nothing concrete. It must some kind of version conflict and/or install directory thing but just can't find it.

Anyone with the knowledge which packages I should be using and how they should be installed? Any help is well appreciated!
