Most likely possibility: you've installed another Python on 10.6, probably from python.org, which only runs in 32-bit mode while Apache is using the Apple-supplied Python 2.6.1 which, by default, runs in 64-bit mode. From the terminal, do: which python If it's not /usr/bin/python, you're using another Python in the terminal. You'll need to install a 64-bit version of the MySQLdb and the MySQL client libraries for the Apple-supplied Python or modify the Apache setup to either force 32-bit mode for the Apple-supplied Python or use the other Python (from /usr/local/bin/python2.6 or wherever). -- Ned Deily, n...@acm.org -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
