Are you sure that the normal user and root work with the same python 
version (BTW this should be Python 2.3.4 for Zope 2.7)? Try the following:
which python
su
which python

The output should be the same. If there are differences, call setup.py 
install with the full python path you get for the user's python version, 
  e.g. /usr/local/bin/python2.3 setup.py install

Oh, and there is a new version (1.2.0) for MySQL-Python available: 
https://sourceforge.net/projects/mysql-python

HTH,
