I recently had exactly this issue (just not in relation to Django). In my case I am developing on Ubuntu 12.04 using the default pip and distribute versions, which are basically a little out of date for MySQL-python.
Because you are working in an isolated virtualenv, you can safely follow the suggested instruction without affecting your Python installation.
So you can…
workon your_virtualenv #activate your virtualenv, you do use virtualenvwrapper, right?
easy_install -U distribute #update distribute on your virtualenv
pip install MySQL-python #install your package
If for some reason upgrading distribute is not an option, you could try installing an older version of MySQL-python as follows (you’d have to check this version is compatible with your version of Django):
pip install MySQL-python==x.y.z #where x.y.z is the version you want

Spent an hour looking through stackoverflow. Evntually found answer in the other question. This is what saved me:
sudo apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev
mysql_config goes with the package.

When doing in a virtualenv :
pip install MySQL-python
I got
EnvironmentError: mysql_config not found
To install mysql_config, as Artem Fedosov said, first install
sudo apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev
then everything works fine in virtualenv

MySQL driver for Python (mysql-python) needs libmysqlclient-dev. You can get it with:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev
If python-dev is not installed, you may have to install it too:
sudo apt-get install python-dev
Now you can install MySQL driver:
pip install mysql-python
Here is a more detailed documentation for MySQL in Django:

The commands are always run in ubuntu:
easy_install -U distribute
later
sudo apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev
and finally
pip install MySQL-python

The suggested solutions didn’t work out for me, because I still got compilation errors after running
`$ sudo apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev`
so I had to run
apt-get install python-dev
Then everything worked fine for me with
apt-get install python-dev

Try this:
Version Python 2.7
MySQL-python package, you should use either MySQL_python‑1.2.5‑cp27‑none‑win32.whl or
MySQL_python‑1.2.5‑cp27‑none‑win_amd64.whl depending on whether you have installed 32-bit or 64-bit Python.
pip install MySQL_python‑1.2.5‑cp27‑none‑win32.whl
if you are using mysqlclient package, then use
mysqlclient‑1.4.6‑cp27‑cp27m‑win32.whl or
mysqlclient‑1.4.6‑cp27‑cp27m‑win_amd64.whl
pip install mysqlclient‑1.4.6‑cp27‑cp27m‑win32.whl
