The latest version of MySQL-python is 1.2.5:

https://pypi.python.org/pypi/MySQL-python

The project mysqlclient is a fork of MySQL-python:

https://pypi.python.org/pypi/mysqlclient

which is at version 1.3.7.  Therefore, I think they are using 
mysqlclient, even if they're calling it MySQL-python.
