Hi,
I am running Python and MySQL on Ubuntu and have installed MySQLdb. If
I try to import MySQLdb I get the following error:
ActivePython 2.5.2.2 (ActiveState Software Inc.) based on
Python 2.5.2 (r252:60911, Mar 27 2008, 16:42:08)

>>> import MySQLdb
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named MySQLdb
But if I lrun python as the root user it imports fine. Can anyone
suggest what might be wrong with the installation? Or is there nothing
wrong? I haven't seen any examples that mentioned being root to import
a module.
Try importing sys and printing out sys.path both with a "normal" account
and the root-account, to see if there are any differences. And of course
make sure both actually use the same interpreter.
Beyond that, you are right: there is no root-only-importing.

Now that I look at, it appears it might not be the same interpreter.
When running python as root I get:
Python 2.5.2 (r252:60911, Apr 21 2008, 11:12:42)
[GCC 4.2.3 (Ubuntu 4.2.3-2ubuntu7)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
Which is completely different from when I'm a normal user (see original
post). And yes, sys.path is different.
Being somewhat new to python and linux, how would I go about fixing
this? How do I get a normal user to run the same interpreter? Is it to
do with my PATH?
