Ok, here we go: import MySQLdb db = MySQLdb.connect(host='localhost', user='johnjsal', passwd='seinfeld', db='bbdatabank') cursor = db.cursor() cursor.execute('SELECT * FROM Master') data = cursor.fetchall() cursor.close() db.close() print data And the output: >>> Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Python24\myscripts\db_test.py", line 6, in -toplevel- db='bbdatabank') File "C:\Python24\lib\site-packages\MySQLdb\__init__.py", line 66, in Connect return Connection(*args, **kwargs) File "C:\Python24\lib\site-packages\MySQLdb\connections.py", line 134, in __init__ super(Connection, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs2) OperationalError: (2003, "Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061)") >>> The situation is this: I installed MySQL 5.0, created a database called bbdatabank using the MySQL prompt. Within the database there is a table called Master, which I'm testing on. Obviously something is happening with the connect method. Perhaps I'm doing something wrong. Is there a way to get more info about what's happening? Thanks. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
