Hi. I'm trying to use Python 2.4 with MySql 5.0, but I'm having installation problems.
I've tried to follow the following articles to install mysql-python with the free visual c++ toolkit http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2004-December/255184.html http://www.vrplumber.com/programming/mstoolkit/ but when I'm trying to install mysql-python, I get the following errors : C:\Python24\Lib\site-packages\MySQL-python-1.2.1_p2>python setup.py install running install running build running build_py copying MySQLdb\release.py -> build\lib.win32-2.4\MySQLdb running build_ext building '_mysql' extension C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual C++ Toolkit 2003\bin\cl.exe /c /nologo /Ox /MD /W3 /GX /DNDEBUG -Ic:\python24\include -Ic:\python24\PC /Tc_mysql.c /Fobuild\te mp.win32-2.4\Release\_mysql.obj -Dversion_info="(1,2,1,'final',2)" -D__version__ ="1.2.1_p2" _mysql.c c:\Python24\include\structmember.h(73) : warning C4005: 'WRITE_RESTRICTED' : mac ro redefinition C:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows XP SP2\Include\WinNT .h(4727) : see previous definition of 'WRITE_RESTRICTED' _mysql.c(1350) : warning C4018: '<' : signed/unsigned mismatch _mysql.c(2804) : error C2015: too many characters in constant _mysql.c(2804) : warning C4047: 'function' : 'const char *' differs in levels of indirection from 'int' _mysql.c(2808) : error C2059: syntax error : 'bad suffix on number' _mysql.c(2808) : error C2440: 'function' : cannot convert from 'double' to 'cons t char *' _mysql.c(2808) : warning C4024: 'PyString_FromString' : different types for form al and actual parameter 1 _mysql.c(2808) : error C2143: syntax error : missing ')' before 'constant' error: command '"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual C++ Toolkit 2003\bin\cl.exe"' failed with exit status 2 It failes on the second line here : if (PyDict_SetItemString(dict, "version_info", PyRun_String(version_info, Py_eval_input, dict, dict))) As I'm new to python, I cant really figure out what the error is. The C2015 error states that I'm trying to pass a char* where a char is needed. version_info is, as far as I can see, defined in metadata.cfg as version_info: (1,2,1,'final',2) Still this doeasnt tell me much.. I hope that someone can help me with this problem. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
