hello, i need some help with a bug in python-mysqldb which i am the maintainer for. the two reports that explain the bug are #270555 and #270570.
it's a problem with libapache-mod-python, it segfaults at using MySQL-Python. see #270555 for more information. the strange thing here is, that this happens only when compiling with mysql 4.0.21 (libmysqlclient-dev in debian/unstable). if i use mysql 3.23.56 (libmysqlclient10-dev in debian/unstable), the problem doesn't occur. i've uploaded a new release, built with libmysqlclient10, to unstable today to workaround this bug, but generally mysql 4.0 is highly recommented and much more supported by most recent MySQL-Python. it doesn't matter which mysql server version you run when you connect to it with a MySQL-Python, the only important thing is whether you build it with libmysqlclient 3.23.56 or 4.0.21. upstream is pretty ignorant about this issue, so all i can do is find the bug myself, but i'm afraid that i'll fail. does anybody have suggestions how to go on? bye jonas
