Thanks for posting this. You are right -- OSX is not an easy platform
for development, because apple has nothing akin to apt-get. (Why they
have not done this, I cannot guess. Surely it cannot be because
people find macports and fink to be reliable and useful.)
A couple of points:
1. I found that:
sudo easy_install mysql-python
worked well, which saves a bit of editing and compiling.
2. Using this (at least with fastcgi) is problematic, because the
webserver user ("_www" on OSX) tries to write eggs to locations in
which it lacks permissions. I guess the solution is to add the
following:
os.environ['PYTHON_EGG_CACHE'] = "..."
to the fastcgi script, in which the ... is replaced with something
that is sensible and safe. But I'm not too sure what is sensible
(e.g. things in /tmp get erased by cron jobs) and I certainly have no
idea what is safe, so I punted and switched to sqlite3, which seems to
work well.
3. A DMG would be terrific.
Thanks much for posting this.
