[TxMt] SQL Problems

[Matthew Anderson]

I don't think that MySQLdb is installed on the default build of  
python that ships with OS X.  If:

   > python
   ...
   >>> import MySQLdb

throws an ImportError exception, it's probably not installed.

I bet it's pretty easy to build the module yourself, I think the  
project page is [1].  I haven't done it, but it's very likely just un- 
tar it, and do a "sudo python setup.py install".

A newer version of Python (2.4.3) and MySQLdb are both nicely  
packaged for the Mac at [2].  I don't think you can use the nice  
packaged version of MySQLdb without installing the Python 2.4 package  
as well (though I've never tried).

There isn't any reason *not* to install the newer python though,  
unless you make use the proprietary Apple python extensions that tie  
into the Cocoa libraries.  Even if you do, you can still call up the  
Apple packaged python with the shell command "python2.3".
