You will want to ask questions about Python on Mac OS X on the Pythonmac 
list.

http://dir.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.apple

But you need to supply more information.  There are many reasons why you 
might get an import error.  You should supply the exact traceback from 
the failing import and say which Python instance you are using, which 
version of MySQLdb, which set of MySQL client libraries - all of which 
need to be built compatibly (i.e. compatible CPU archs and deployment 
targets) and packaged in the app bundle or installed externally on the 
end user's machine.  You need to specify what version of OS X you are 
using and what range of OS X versions your app is targeted for.  And you 
should say whether everything works without trying to use py2app.  
Getting a working combination of python, MySQLdb, and MySQL client libs 
on OS X can be frustrating if you try to guess at it or use binaries 
from different suppliers.  If possible, use a complete solution from a 
3rd-party open source packager, like MacPorts or Homebrew.
