on the other hand all big *NIX distros have mysql-python on their packages/tree, and I made a windows installer of the last version, which you can get from sourceforge. so the only problem I see here is if your on a mac, on which the source should compile without problems since it's *NIX now. at this moment installing on any mayor platform is 2-3 commands/clicks away. > Thanks for any suggestions. > Boris DuĊĦek > > -- > http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list > -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
