Ok I was just assuming Python already had the MySQL bindings.
So I've downloaded the MySQL-python-1.2.3.tar.gz, I decompressed it,
read that I needed easy_install or setuptools. So I installed
setuptools/easy_install but for some reason it won't install the MySQL-
python files. I tried getting easy_install to download it, wouldn't
work. I tried to get it to use the compressed version, still didn't
work. I'm guessing it's not working cause the easy_install needs an
egg file, yet there doesn't seem to be one in any of the directories.
As for the errors at the bottom of the thrown exceptions:
raise ImproperlyConfigured("Error loading MySQLdb module: %s" %e)
django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: Error loading MySQLdb
module: No module named MySQLdb
does that help?
Thanks
