Hey Paul,
Good you got it running, I failed to reply yesterday, sorry
about that.
2 points:
1) mysql_config was not in your $PATH (or it had the wrong
one), that's why I mentioned in my blog post
PATH="/usr/local/mysql/bin:$PATH"
It should have done the trick. Because you need to do
ln -s /usr/local/mysql-5.1.39-osx10.5-x86_64/ /usr/local/mysql
(part of 'normal' install of MySQL)
2) In your initial post you mentioned using Python 2.6.2,
which is the one coming with MacPorts if I'm not mistaken.
Snow Leopard uses 2.6.1 and should be OK for most stuff.
(I can't test MacPorts, some other things are bugging).
If you got a chance, check out MySQL Connector/Python

I need more people testing and bashing it and give me
reports/ideas and hits with clue bats :)
Cheers,
Geert
