I hate asking questions that have probably been answered before, but I have not found a way to conveniently search the archives of this mailing list.
So... Can someone tell me how to search this mailing list, short of downloading every month's archive and searching manually? Or, can someone tell me how to easily interface with MySQL with python? I've successfully hooked python up with PostgreSQL, but this MySQL thing has been more difficult. I know about mysyql-python http://sourceforge.net/projects/mysql-python. I would describe the requirements for building mysql-python as annoying. OK, if I'm building from scratch, the requirements are understandable. Still, annoying. I have a web server running SuSE that does not have MySQL installed, that I want to connect to a different server running MySQL. In order to create this python module, it appears I've got to create it on a server with mysql and mysql-devel, and various other items, and then move it to the web server. So I installed those items, reluctantly, on the web server and ran python2.4 setup.py build The script complained about a lot of things, including not finding mysql_config. I then added mysql_config to the PATH, and it generated a whole slew of other errors related to GCC. GCC is installed... Someone on this list MUST have solved this before... Can anyone provide me a hint? Is there a SuSE rpm, that doesn't spew out 400 dependency errors? I would very much appreciate any hints. tia -- Richard Brosnahan Owner Engineering Art, L.L.C Silence is golden when you can’t think of a good answer.
