    setuptools is a complex, horrible old beast and I wouldn't like to
    guess at its IronPython compatibility. Shame MySQLdb depends on it
    for an install - but MySQLdb almost certainly depends on C
    extensions anyway. In the long run distutils2 will replace
    setuptools entirely (for CPython the distribute package has
    *already* replaced it whilst remaining compatible). The distutils2
    guys are *very* open to input - so 'someone' should run the tests
    with IronPython and report any problems.

Yes, you're right. MySQLdb does have some c files that need to be compiled. And I don't think Windows got a good compile environment for this. This bothers me to much. For CPython2.6, I have to find a binary package of MySQLdb, but for IronPython, I can't find any binary.

The Windows compile environment for Python C extensions is most easily setup by having the correct version of Visual Studio installed.

Packages for Python based on C extensions normally *don't work at all in IronPython* - this is why you won't find binaries for IronPython for C extensions...

One way to use Python C extensions with IronPython is through Ironclad:

    distutils used to break *after* installing a pure-Python package
    for IronPython when it attempted to do byte-code compilation. This
    specific problem is fixed in trunk but I don't know if it is fixed
    in the version of distutils shipped with IronPython 2.6. This was
    the last step - so the error was alarming but wouldn't stop the
    install.

I will try it later. Dont have too much time for test now.

    All the best,

    Hi guys,

    I don't whether somebody else asked this question, but I am
    really confused about this.
    I have already installled IronPython2.6 and add it into my
    system's path, so I can directly type ipy to start IronPython2.6.
    So I tried " ipy setup.py install" to install MySQLdb, but it
    give me an error said no module named setuptools. Then I download
    setuptools and install it, it gave me an error:
    No module named pkg_resources.

    Why doesn't IronPython2.6 ship with a setuptools like easy_install ?
    Now, I can't install any 3rd party package and don't know how to
    fix it.

    Regards,
    David
