Couldn't you use shared folders for the same effect?

I'm using MySQL, python and all the geodjango required libraries.
Like you I experienced some frustration at first but it was mostly cured by removing ports and re-installing and re-building so that everything is now 64bit.

Shared folders would probably work better than Samba.
I switched the UID/GID on my VM to match my Mac, then mounted my Mac's shared home directory as the VM's home directory. Seamless integration!
why not use macports
or buildout ? I had use both on Snow Leopard without a problem
Why don't you just fire up macports, and build a universal mysql variant (
sudo port install mysql mysql5-server +universal) which builds a 64 and 32 bit fat binary of mysql.Using that I'm fairly sure you can build the python mysql driver without any hiccups - just remember to set the
PATHto contain/opt/local/binor wherever mysql_config hides itself.
