I recently experienced trouble with my hard drive and used Disk Utilities to reinstall Mac OS 10.7 Lion.
When I went to run my Django app, I got the following errors:

INFO REGARDING MY DEV ENVIRONMENT:
My local dev environment uses virtualenv and virtualenvwrapper.
I checked the following from within my virtual environment (i.e. after running these commands: workon my_project; cdvirtualenv):
% which python: /Users/my_username/Sites/python_projects/my_project/bin/python
>>> import sys
>>> sys.version
'2.7.1 (r271:86832, Jul 31 2011, 19:30:53) \n[GCC 4.2.1 (Based on Apple Inc. build 5658) (LLVM build 2335.15.00)]'
% which mysql: /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql
>>> import django
>>> django.VERSION
(1, 3, 0, 'final', 0)
I have focused my attention on reinstalling the mysql-python connector using the various recipes (e.g. http://birdhouse.org/blog/2009/09/27/python-mysql-connections-and-snow-leopard/) found on Internet. No luck. All attempts to reinstall mysql-python fail with many errors. Not sure why I would need to reinstall mysql-python anyway.

QUESTIONS:
- Any tips about how to fix ?
- Any clues about what changed/broke when I reinstalled Mac OS 10.7 ?
Any assistance appreciated. THANK YOU!
