Hi Jester

A few things.

1. I've never been able to get python to work correct on a debian system, this is for both Sarge and Etch. We currently have to use Centos 5 for our proxy radius systems which use python.

2. I do not believe that loading a mysql connection each time you recived a radius packet is going to be a good idea. I would instead create a very small shim which calls a python daemon via a unix socket.

Cheers
Mike

Using the Build (http://wiki.freeradius.org/Build) instructions for Debian, i have 
compiled FreeRADIUS with python support.  I copied the example module configuration for 
python out of experimental.conf.  using the provided test script, the server runs fine. 
and any other simple script works until i try to import MySQLdb for python.  However, 
when you try to  "import MySQLdb",  it blows it stops, and throws the following:

<type 'exceptions.ImportError'>: /var/lib/python-support/python2.5/_mysql.so: undefined symbol: PyExc_ImportError Failed to import python module "pyrad_auth" /etc/freeradius/radiusd.conf[608]: Instantiation failed for module "python"
Errors initializing modules

Which, i think, means that it can't load the mysql module for some reason, and 
i don't know much else.  from the command prompt, i can execute the .py script 
that i am using.  In fact, it is the same script that works on a SuSE 10.1 
server that i have, so i think the script is not likely to be the problem.

Any pointers/hints/need more info?  Much appreciated.
