The warning looks familiar. Are you running python from the MySQLdb source directory? ie. /opt/downloads/py-modules/MySQL-python-1.2.3c1 I think you just need to change directories and the warning will go away. Check what's happening on line 3 of _mysql.py I don't have the source in front of me. ~Sean -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
