Like I said, it's likely an architecture issue. If you have a 32-bit
MySQL install and are using a 64-bit Python, it won't be able to load
the client libraries. The Python install included in Lion is universal
(a single file containing both 32-bit and 64-bit executables) so if
it's loaded by a 32-bit program, it will load in 32-bit mode.

"file" is a command that uses heuristics to determine the type of a
file. You run it from a terminal.

$ file /usr/bin/python
/usr/bin/python: Mach-O universal binary with 2 architectures
/usr/bin/python (for architecture x86_64):	Mach-O 64-bit executable x86_64
/usr/bin/python (for architecture i386):	Mach-O executable i386

Try running "file /usr/local/lib/libmysqlclient.18.dylib". According
to the traceback you posted, that's the library that failed to load.

If you need to force Python to run in 32-bit mode, you can use the arch command
"arch -i386 python"
