I've the same error for installed package MySQL-python version 1.2.5, if downgrade the package to version 1.2.3, it's work fine.

I hope that it will be helpful for you: link to distribution package http://www.codegood.com/archives/129

===== also the error will appear when some dependent packages wasn't installed successfully.
