Python: MySQLdb and "Library not loaded: libmysqlclient.16.dylib"

In an attempt to develop Python/Django applications, you've encountered an issue while installing MySQL-python on Mac OS X 10.6. Despite successfully installing MySQL, importing MySQLdb fails with the error message "Library not loaded: libmysqlclient.16.dylib."

To resolve this issue, you can set the DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable after running pip install or easy_install:

export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/mysql/lib/

Assuming MySQL is installed in the default location (/usr/local/mysql), this should resolve the issue. The DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH variable tells the system where to look for shared libraries, including the missing libmysqlclient.16.dylib.
