MySQLdb, Python 2.5 and OS X 10.6

I wasted too much time trying to make MySQLdb work with Python 2.5 (mysteriously it worked fine with 2.7). I thought I'll share my experience.

I installed MySQLdb normally with pip install MySQL-python (yeah, ingenious name) and there were no problems. But every time I imported it, I got following error:

from django.conf import settings
from django.core.exceptions import MiddlewareNotUsed

Bluetooth/Pyjnius example
=========================

This was used to send some bytes to an arduino via bluetooth.
The app must have BLUETOOTH and BLUETOOTH_ADMIN permissions (well, i didn't
tested without BLUETOOTH_ADMIN, maybe it works.)

Connect your device to your phone, via the bluetooth menu. After the
pairing is done, you'll be able to use it in the app.
