I'm trying to get a project that uses MySQL going on OS X. Apparently
Apple's default installation of Python doesn't include MySQLdb, so I
downloaded it from <http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=22307
>, checked that mysql_config is in my path, and then did a "python
setup.py build".
This did a number of copies, and then failed while trying to build the
'_mysql' extension:
building '_mysql' extension
creating build/temp.macosx-10.5-i386-2.5
gcc -fno-strict-aliasing -Wno-long-double -no-cpp-precomp -mno-fused-
madd -fno-common -dynamic -DNDEBUG -g -Os -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -
DMACOSX -I/usr/include/ffi -DENABLE_DTRACE -pipe -
Dversion_info=(1,2,2,'final',0) -D__version__=1.2.2 -I/usr/local/mysql/
include -I/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/
include/python2.5 -c _mysql.c -o build/temp.macosx-10.5-i386-2.5/
_mysql.o -Os -arch i386 -fno-common
In file included from /usr/local/mysql/include/mysql.h:47,
from _mysql.c:40:
/usr/include/sys/types.h:92: error: duplicate ‘unsigned’
/usr/include/sys/types.h:92: error: two or more data types in
declaration specifiers
error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1
So, my questions are:
1. Is this the best way to be accessing MySQL databases from Python on
the Mac, or is there an easier approach I've overlooked?
2. If this is it, then does anyone have a clue how to fix the error
above?
3. Or, does anyone already have a prebuilt MySQLdb package for OS X?
Thanks,
- Joe
