Hi,
I am running Python and MySQL on Ubuntu and have installed MySQLdb. If I
try to import MySQLdb I get the following error:
ActivePython 2.5.2.2 (ActiveState Software Inc.) based on
Python 2.5.2 (r252:60911, Mar 27 2008, 16:42:08)
[GCC 3.3.1 (SuSE Linux)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import MySQLdb
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named MySQLdb
But if I lrun python as the root user it imports fine. Can anyone
suggest what might be wrong with the installation? Or is there nothing
wrong? I haven't seen any examples that mentioned being root to import a
module.
You have probably installed two versions of Python. You can verify that by
typing
$ which python
and
$ sudo which python
I suspect that root sees the python that comes with Ubuntu and that has
MySQLdb installed while the normal user sees ActiveState's Python.

Thanks Peter, that was it. Located the ActiveState directory and removed
it. Now the module imports for all users.
