Bill Joy: ... open source doesn't assist the initial creative act. What we need now are great things. I don't need to see the source code. I just want a system that works.

So I'm trying to enable MySQL access from within Plone/Zope and it requires MySQLdb. I can configure, build, install the MySQLdb module fine. Problem is that the Plone install comes with its own distribution of Python (which is dumb) and when I install the MySQLdb module, it gets placed in the library of the default Python distribution that comes preinstalled on OS X. Grrr ... so, how do you install a module for Python to a specific location????
