mysql-python on Snow Leopard with MySQL 64-bit
- by Derek Reynolds
Can't seem to get mysql-python to work on Snow Leopard for the life of me.
Currently using the default version of python that ships with Snow Leopard (python 2.6.1). Installed MySQL 5.1.45 x86_64.
I download the source for mysql-python http://sourceforge.net/projects/mysql-python/ and compile with the following commands:
tar xzf MySQL-python-1.2.3c1.tar.gz
cd MySQL-python-1.2.3c1
ARCHFLAGS='-arch x86_64' python setup.py build
ARCHFLAGS='-arch x86_64' python setup.py install
And am getting the following error when I try to import:
Python 2.6.1 (r261:67515, Jul 7 2009, 23:51:51)
[GCC 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5646)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import MySQLdb

/Users/derek/.python-eggs/MySQL_python-1.2.3c1-py2.6-macosx-10.6-universal.egg-tmp/_mysql.so: mach-o, but wrong architecture
Any ideas? Or the best route for starting over.
