You may have the wrong package- ZMySQLDA is an adapter for zope. I believe you want this http://sourceforge.net/projects/mysql-python/files/mysql-python-test/1.2.3c1/MySQL-python-1.2.3c1.tar.gz/download
If you run into problems installing it, you may need to grab the current release from subversion. Also, I would highly recommend MacPorts for python + mysql on OSX for ease of use. You can even grab the PIL and other python libraries from the package system. If you're interested. This blog post details how to do it: http://rob.cogit8.org/blog/2007/Nov/14/installing-django-leopard-mac-os-105/ The post is written for Leopard but it works on Snow Leopard- just get the appropriate Snow Leopard MacPorts package, and replace python2.4 with python2.6 in the instructions.
