Thanks for the diff.  Looks like it might apply to the regular osx-packager.pl.

Have you actually run the frontend and backend built from 
osx-packager-qtsdk.pl?  Any gotchas?

As far as I can remember, I've only ever gotten the MySQL-python 
module to install in 32 bit mode.  (I'm going to have a go at this 
again tomorrow.)  After numerous blind alleys on the Internet, I came 
across notes that boiled down to:

export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/mysql/lib/
export VERSIONER_PYTHON_PREFER_64_BIT=no
export VERSIONER_PYTHON_PREFER_32_BIT=yes

See 
<http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3061277/python-mysql-wrong-architecture-error>

After that, "sudo easy_install MySQL-python" worked without a hitch.
