These instructions must have misled you. This command only works if you actually have a file c:\MySQL_python-1.2.2-py2.4-win32.egg on your disk, e.g. after downloading it, from http://pypi.python.org/pypi/MySQL-python/1.2.2 If you haven't downloaded it, you have two choices 1. download it, and then give the full filename to easy_install (*not* c:\MySQL_python-1.2.2-py2.4-win32.egg, unless you download to c:\) 2. ask easy_install to download first, with easy_install MySQL-python Regards, Martin -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
