Thanks for the procedure. But when I look at the list of packages for pyodbc displayed, they are tailored to a specific version of python /chipset.
http://code.google.com/p/pyodbc/downloads/list I have a couple of questions. 1. Where do I obtain the source code for pyodbc, above, 2. How do I tailor it for Lion OS and python 27 for example 3. How much testing do I need to do in order to make sure that it works The last item leads me to another question, if I see a port of this package from the url above How confident can I be that it has been tested thoroughly Thanks Bob On Jan 16, 11:13 am, Brett Epps <brett.e...@quest.com> wrote: > You need two things: > > - Xcode (available in the Mac App Store) - this will give you the tools > needed to build software from source > - Homebrew (http://mxcl.github.com/homebrew/) - this is similar to fink or > MacPorts, but IMHO much better > > Then do something like: > > > sudo easy_install pip > > sudo pip install virtualenv > > virtualenv /path/to/project/env > > /path/to/project/env/bin/activate > > pip install pyodbc mysqldb psycopg2 > > And possibly: > > > brew install mysql postgresql > > All done! > > Brett > > On 1/15/12 11:27 PM, "Python_Junkie" <software.buy.des...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > > > > > > >I have been developing python/django programs on a windows machine at > >work for several years > >and have been very satisfied with the functionality available from the > >available modules in windows. > > >I thought I would expand my universe and set up the development > >environment on a mac this weekend at home. > > >I found some nice IDE's to use for developing on for the mac > > >and then I found this web site that seemed to have a thorough approach > >to setting up the django environment > > >http://hackercodex.com/2011/08/30/python-install-django-on-mac-osx-li... > >.7/ > > >I was pretty satisfied with the core result. > > >I then wanted to add some extra modules that I have employed routinely > >at work and ran into some difficulties. > > >I wanted to use pyodbc and mysql and postgre modules to implement > >database functionality, as I do at my work. > > >I was either unable to find the mac versions, or the versions > >available were source code that and not self installers that would > >need to be compiled, > >with the possibility, since they were not specifically made for Lion > >that after compiling they would function correctly. > > >Just looking for feedback /input.
