I am trying to install MySQL-Python 0.9.1 on my Solaris 8 system. The system has Python 2.3.3 and Mysql 4.0.21 installed.
This is where I downloaded the distribution of the Mysql-python package: http://www.ravenbrook.com/project/p4dti/import/2001-10-16/MySQL-python-0.9.1/MySQL-python-0.9.1.tar.gz I have been doing whatever instructed from the README file. i.e. change the setup.py according to what OS I'm using: elif sys.platform == "sunos5": # Solaris 2.8 include_dirs = ['/usr/local/mysql/include/mysql'] library_dirs = ['/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql'] libraries = [mysqlclient, "z"] runtime_library_dirs = ['/usr/local/lib:/usr/openwin/lib:/usr/dt/lib'] extra_objects = [] Then run the setup.py script with Python, here is the problem. I am encountering the following issue when running the setup.py script. Do u know why is that? Thanks! ====================================================================== python setup.py build Traceback (most recent call last): File "setup.py", line 123, in ? extra_objects=extra_objects, File "/usr/local/lib/python2.3/distutils/core.py", line 101, in setup _setup_distribution = dist = klass(attrs) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.3/distutils/dist.py", line 130, in __init__ setattr(self, method_name, getattr(self.metadata, method_name)) AttributeError: DistributionMetadata instance has no attribute 'get___doc__' python setup.py install Traceback (most recent call last): File "setup.py", line 123, in ? extra_objects=extra_objects, File "/usr/local/lib/python2.3/distutils/core.py", line 101, in setup _setup_distribution = dist = klass(attrs) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.3/distutils/dist.py", line 130, in __init__ setattr(self, method_name, getattr(self.metadata, method_name)) AttributeError: DistributionMetadata instance has no attribute 'get___doc__' -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
