Could someone explain to me *exactly* what I need to do to access a mysql server on my linux box from a python program on my windoz box? The python program works fine on the linux box and I think I should be able to run it on the windoz box simply by changing the connection parameters but I can't figure out how to install MySQLdb. I have the MySQL-python-0.3.5-win32-1.zip file but there are no instructions that explain what needs to go where. I've run the 'setup.py build' and 'setup.py install' but still get 'module not found' when I try to import MySQLdb. The python on the windoz box is a vanilla BeOpen 2.0. -- "Good intentions will always be pleaded for every assumption of authority.
