Python to MySQL
We've added some Python to MySQL connection examples on our web site - using the mysql-python open source download from sourceforge.

For the installation, you MUST ensure that you have the MySQL include files and libraries installed before you attempt a build, and that you set your PATH to point to that version of MySQL - otherwise you can get a rather frightening page full of errors. Here's a checklist for you:

1. Install MySQL into /usr/local

2. set up mysql-python
download, unzip and untar, cd to directory.
export mysqlclient=mysqlclient
export PATH=/usr/local/mysql/bin:$PATH
python setup.py build


3. Install mysql-python
become administrator
python setup.py install

I've run the above on both Fedora and Suse ...

This is a page archived from The Horse's Mouth at http://www.wellho.net/horse/ - the diary and writings of Graham Ellis. Every attempt was made to provide current information at the time the page was written, but things do move forward in our business - new software releases, price changes, new techniques. Please check back via our main site for current courses, prices, versions, etc - any mention of a price in "The Horse's Mouth" cannot be taken as an offer to supply at that price.
