OK I did that, I found though that I was still getting the can't find 
Python.h error - so I printed sys.platform and found it contained the value 
'linux2'. So I changed the line to
if sys.platform == "linux2": # Red Hat

and it got past the Python.h error - however it then errored with

In file included from _mysql.c:31:
/opt/Python-2.1.1/Include/Python.h:24: config.h: No such file or directory
In file included from /opt/Python-2.1.1/Include/Python.h:54,
                  from _mysql.c:31:

pypor"
error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1

Any ideas ?

Thanks.
