On VM setting up a test install of roster, and granted my python is a
bit rusty, but installing roster-core I get

File "/tmp/easy_install-qeiO13/MySQL-python-1.2.3/setup_posix.py",
line 43, in get_config
File "/tmp/easy_install-qeiO13/MySQL-python-1.2.3/setup_posix.py",
line 24, in mysql_config
EnvironmentError: mysql_config not found

Now I have Mysql up and running on the box, so I'm guessing that this
is a Python needs to know more about your mysql environment. And
strictly speaking, that isn't a roster problem, but fixing it might
want to be included in the setup docs.

I am assuming you have solved this problem. But if the problem was not
due to missing packages likely you needed to add the directory of
mysql executables such as mysql_config into the $PYTHONPATH env
variable. Hope that helps you or future users.
