Yes, a little more involved that I remembered. So, to go through the steps correctly, I started from scratch. This is what I did:
1) downloaded latest version of MySQLdb form http://sourceforge.net/projects/mysql-python/ 2) went to my default Python folder, and checked for any file or folder with a reference to *MySQL* (remove if any) 3) opened Vim in a terminal, opened setup_posix.py and made this change (you may not have to do this if MySQL was already installed - but i changed it anyways): <----- changed this line mysql_config.path = "mysql_config" ------> to this mysql_config.path = "/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config" 4) ran these at the terminal: python setup.py clean python setup.py build sudo python setup.py install 5) for good measure, did an export: export PATH=/usr/local/mysql/bin: $PATH and there you have it. MyQSLdb is ready to be imported! good luck and feel free to ask, if you would like me to test a different way of getting it insalled.
