Thanks for your help, Mike.

On running "python setup.py install" in the extracted directory, I get this:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "setup.py", line 16, in 
metadata, options = get_config()
  File "C:\Python26\Lib\site-packages\MySQL-python-1.2.2\setup_windows.py",
line
 7, in get_config
serverKey = _winreg.OpenKey(_winreg.HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,
options['registry_ke
y'])
WindowsError: [Error 2] The system cannot find the file specified

It may be that the egg is incompatible with Python 2.6. Looking at the
last location that easy_install downloads from, I found that there is
no 2.6 egg there (see 
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=22307&package_id=15775).

I've had some goofy issues with compressed files being weird. Try
downloading the source yourself, unzipping it, then navigating to that
folder via the command line and running something like this:

python setup.py install

If your python isn't on the path, you'll have to do something like
this instead:

c:\python26\python.exe setup.py install

Hopefully that will get you going.

easy_install with MySQL-python

2009-03-03 Thread Ske

Let me apologise in advance if I’m missing something obvious, I’m still very
new to this!

I’m attempting to install MySQL-python in Python2.6 on Windows. On running
"easy_install MySQL-python" I get a "The system cannot find the file
specified" message. Full output is below:

Searching for MySQL-python
Reading http://pypi.python.org/simple/MySQL-python/
Reading http://sourceforge.net/projects/mysql-python
Reading http://sourceforge.net/projects/mysql-python/

Downloading

Processing MySQL-python-1.2.3b1.tar.gz
Running MySQL-python-1.2.3b1\setup.py -q bdist_egg --dist-dir
c:\docume~1\michae
~1\locals~1\temp\easy_install-bmrwgu\MySQL-python-1.2.3b1\egg-dist-tmp-_uhixz
error: The system cannot find the file specified

I've really no idea how to solve this, and searches turn up nothing of help.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
