I am installing a custom app that needs MySQL, which I already had working so I am a bit confused on what's going on.
Anyways here is the error:
Error loading MySQLdb module: this is MySQLdb version (1, 2, 4, 'final', 1), but _mysql is version (1, 2, 3, 'final', 0 Tried
sudo pip uninstall MySQL-python then
sudo pip install MySQL-python which worked...
Successfully installed MySQL-python still the same error

It seems that apt-get and pip each installed their own version of the library.
Try removing system MySQL with sudo apt-get remove python-mysqldb, and you should have something like this:
