SQLite is a good solution, but if you maybe want something that's closer to what you may be using in production, installation of MySQL on OS X is pretty easy. Check out this link: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/mac-os-x-installation.html
The only other thing you need is the database binding so that Python can talk to MySQL. You can get that here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/mysql-python I prefer MySQL over SQLite because it's more of a "real" database, you don't feel like you are just playing with a toy, but actually working on what will be in your production. If you have OS X, don't bother doing any hobby programming on your webserver. You can do anything / install anything on your mac that you could on the webserver, plus it will be much faster and more convenient. The best part is that you learn more by installing things yourself. I say suffer through a couple of tough installs, document what you do so that you can do it again, and then you will be a lot better off, and have a greater understanding of how everything works. At least, that's what I do. Taylor On May 1, 10:43 pm, selmac <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I didn't realize I could use an SQLite that was already installed. I > have python 2.5.1 on my IMac.
