Hi Namshin, Thank you for your reply.
What I did was that I installed a 64-bit MySQLdb to match my 64bit Mac. Then I found that my Python is 32bit. Would you know where to get binary 64bit Python? I only found 64bit Python source code. I understand that MySQLdb needs to interface into the binary of mysql, but I don't understand why it can't interface into Python library source code. After all, Python is an interpreted programming language, right? 64bit MySQLdb libraries just can't talk to 32bit Python libraries... That's one of the reasons why we use PostgresSQL at gsc. It seems to have a more user-friendly Python DB-API. On the other hand, it is a good thing that Pygr sqlgraph uses MySQLdb, since lots of bioinformatics dbs like ensembl and ucsc database system are mysql-based. To summarize, would you or someone else tell me where I could get a 64bit Python binary copy, so that I don't have to compile Python by hand?
