This doesn't address your the problem directly, but in the case of Dreamhost, they allow (and condone) you compiling local versions of PHP and python. I'm currently running a local python 2.5 in my homedir with my own compiled MySQLdb and etc. Of course, this may be tricky for other users, and somewhat irritating to set up. (though I could put a wiki article up if there's not one already) I will put in a request ticket anyway to have Dreamhost upgrade their version of mysql-python, and update if I get any progress on that. >From what I remember however, they usually only upgrade these things one server at a time, when a customer requests it, and say "request it for your server" if you want it. If the demand is high enough though, they might push it out to all servers. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.
