What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. attempt to run the mythbox script

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

I'm on Arch Linux, i installed "pacman -S mysql-python" (extra/mysql-python
1.2.3b2-1)

Linux PCname 2.6.30-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri Jul 31 18:10:38 UTC 2009 i686
AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4200+ AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux

I've read up on similar errors but they were using 64bit OS's, I have an
AMD64 but i'm NOT on 64bit Arch Linux.

Please provide any additional information below.

I've gotten this to work on MythBuntu but not ArchLinux, I'm a bit of a
noob but I tried my hardest to give you as much info as possible.

please note that the FAQ in the tar.gz file needs updating, the XBMC log
file in Linux was located in /home/<user>/.xbmc/temb/xbmc.log only after
turning on the feature.

this error has been pached after a little advice, seems like it's due to 
different
versions of MySQLdb. 
I followed advice given here

unfortunately I've got this problem now...
