Hi there... I want to distribute my python apps and the MySQL Database in the easiest way possible. I mean a user just run the installation file and all is automaticly installed. Any suggestions?
My knowledge: I know, as many of you, that there's py2exe for compiling python apps for running under Windows. But what about the database structure and data? I think it could be reached through a .qry run in the MySQL database from an installation instruction. But (one more time) what about the automated installation of the MySQL database without user intervention?

I don't think one can distribute mysql within a software package w/o buying a commercial license to do so. Check out their licensing on their website here:
"When your application is not licensed under either the GPL-compatible Free Software License as defined by the Free Software Foundation or approved by OSI, and you intend to or you may distribute MySQL software, you must first obtain a commercial license to the MySQL product."
