MySQL for Python

The path to the libmysqlclient_r.15.dylib is wrong under Mac OS X 10.4 in
connection with Python 2.5 and MySQL 5 (standard disk image from
mysql.com):

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "build/bdist.macosx-10.3-fat/egg/MySQLdb/__init__.py", line 19, in
<module>
ImportError: dlopen(./_mysql.so, 2): Library not loaded:
/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient_r.15.dylib
Referenced from: ./_mysql.so
Reason: image not found

The actual path is normally /usr/local/mysql/lib/libmysqlclient_r.15.dylib

but somehow, an additional mysql/ is added after lib/ :
/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient_r.15.dylib

Is there a way to give the program the correct path? Is this a problem from
the mysql_config program? It seems to show the path like this:
Usage: /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config [OPTIONS]
Options:
--cflags [-I/usr/local/mysql/include -Os -arch i386
-fno-common]
--include [-I/usr/local/mysql/include]
--libs [-L/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql -lmysqlclient -lz
-lm]
--libs_r [-L/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql -lmysqlclient_r -lz
-lm]
--socket [/tmp/mysql.sock]
--port [3306]
--version [5.0.45]
--libmysqld-libs [-L/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql -lmysqld -lz -lm]

but I didn't change that after installation and other programs requiring
this path seem to work fine...
