Do you have a full duplicate of your /usr/lib/python2.7 inside /lxc/rootfs? It looks like the connect call is trying to import something, and now that you're chrooted, it can't find it. The solution might be to manually import a few more modules beforehand (putting them into sys.modules means they don't need to come from the file system), or to add more files to your chroot jail. For a guess, I would try: import MySQLdb.connections above your chroot, and see if that helps. ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
