I have been trying to install the MySQL Connect module for a day and a half.
First I got an error saying that "No module named mysql" was installed. After a
lot of trial and error I got passed that. I realized that because I have python
installed in /usr/local that I needed to build and then install the library
into site-packages where Python was looking. But now it appears that the
submodule "connect" cannot be located.
Some people have suggested online that I needed to make sure the module was
added to the system path by doing this:
import sys
sys.path.insert(1,'//usr/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages/mysql')
import mysql
Some have suggested that I needed to edit the __init__.py file in /mysql/ with
this:
from pkgutil import extend_path
path = extend_path(path, name)
But after I built and then installed pointing to my site-packages directory the
__init__.py file in /usr/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages/mysql/ has that code
already. The __init__.py in mysql/connector/ has a lot of stuff. It uses dot
notation as well which is beyond my rudimentary Python knowledge: for example:
from . import version
from .connection import MySQLConnection
It appears this is related to the install and that I am using
/usr/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages. But I am running out of ideas to try. I
am not Python expert as you can tell.
Any suggestions?
Again the error in my script where I try to import mysql.connection to connect
to mysql is:
import mysql.connect
ImportError: No module named connect
The installation instructions are :

Also I have tried installing it via yum. No go there either.
