I will report what happens... I received a link for the Hostmonster helpdesk to https://my.hostmonster.com/cgi/help/530
My experience was that I had to modify some of the paths from the original. When I ran the python setup.py install routine, python complained that it could not find `lib64' thusly, I created $HOME/.local/lib/python2.4/site-packages Furthermore, seems that setup.py did not copy all files from the installation directory. The result was a UserWarning regarding multiple imports of the _mysql module when I invoked import MySQLdb. I solved that by adding the installation directory to my PYTHONPATH. A relevant excerpt from .bashrc looks like this: #BEGIN - # line one export PYTHONPATH=$HOME/.local/lib64/python/site-packages:$PYTHONPATH # line two export PYTHONPATH=$HOME/.local/lib64/python2.4/site-packages:$PYTHONPATH # line three export PYTHONPATH=$HOME/admin/.install/MySQL-python-1.2.3:$PYTHONPATH # line four export PATH=$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH #END Where $HOME/admin/.install/MySQL-python-1.2.3 is the package install directory. I have been spoiled by ubuntu. Furthemore, it has been a long time since I did a package install where I don't have root privileges. Results may vary, I hope this is helpful to someone else. cheers -- Tim tim at johnsons-web dot com or akwebsoft dot com http://www.akwebsoft.com -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
