I'm so frustrated with this problem I am about to lose it. I've tried multiple versions of python, mysql, mysql-python, django, etc. I've resorted to a clean installation of CentOS 5, fully up to date, with all packages installed by the book. Currently I'm using DJango 1.2.3 and MySQL-python 1.2.3, both built on this system from clean source. I've tried both mod_wsgi and mod_python methods. Currently I'm using mod_python. Ignore the Request URL, please. This is a new system and not the live site. I'm using internal host entries. Why am I getting this InterfaceError? The only reference that I can find is a problem in MySQL 5.0, but this isn't relevant to our situation: http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=21543. I'm pulling my hair out. Any help or guidance would be appreciated.
