>>> import MySQLdb Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "build/bdist.macosx-10.6-universal/egg/MySQLdb/__init__.py", line 19, in <module> File "build/bdist.macosx-10.6-universal/egg/_mysql.py", line 7, in <module> File "build/bdist.macosx-10.6-universal/egg/_mysql.py", line 6, in __bootstrap__ ImportError: dlopen(/Users/ffreitas/.python-eggs/MySQL_python-1.2.3- py2.6-macosx-10.6-universal.egg-tmp/_mysql.so, 2): Library not loaded: libmysqlclient.16.dylib Referenced from: /Users/ffreitas/.python-eggs/MySQL_python-1.2.3- py2.6-macosx-10.6-universal.egg-tmp/_mysql.so Reason: image not found >>> On Oct 18, 1:33 pm, mart <msenecal...@gmail.com> wrote: > Yes, a little more involved that I remembered.
