I tried it out for myself and installed `python-mysql` and tried the 
following:

root@Pulzzz:/etc/apache2# python
Python 2.5.1 (r251:54863, Oct  5 2007, 13:36:32)
[GCC 4.1.3 20070929 (prerelease) (Ubuntu 4.1.2-16ubuntu2)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import _mysql
>>>   

So I'm not sure how your version of Python handles mysql, as you can see it 
works for me.
