well I have managed to build both extant versions (MySQL-python-1.2.1_p2 & MySQL-python-1.2.2b2) from source with the aid of Mr Dustman's comments in the site.cfg files and a very minor hack to the earlier version. I had to have the sources for Mysql available as well, but that probably comes with the territory. It seems the very latest version won't play well with earlier MySQL so I used MySQL-python-1.2.1_p2 as we are still using some 4.0.27 databases. Given that I used a particular version of MySQL, 5.0.33, to build against I'm not certain that my builds are useful for everyone. I copy here the differences I had to make to the source to get stuff to build and run against stock win32 Python-2.5 #############MySQL-python-1.2.1_p2 diff -r -c MySQL-python-1.2.1_p2\_mysql.c \tmp\MySQL-python-1.2.1_p2\_mysql.c *** MySQL-python-1.2.1_p2\_mysql.c Wed Apr 05 18:55:44 2006 --- \tmp\MySQL-python-1.2.1_p2\_mysql.c Fri Jan 26 14:01:49 2007 *************** *** 2767,2772 **** --- 2767,2775 ---- return e; } + #define QUOTE(X) _QUOTE(X) + #define _QUOTE(X) #X + static char _mysql___doc__[] = "an adaptation of the MySQL C API (mostly)\n\ \n\ *************** *** 2801,2811 **** if (!(dict = PyModule_GetDict(module))) goto error; if (PyDict_SetItemString(dict, "version_info", !
