MySQL-python Error

[Steve Ametjan]

I've been trying to get MySQL-python to install on Leopard for the
past couple of days, and I keep running into relatively the same
error. I'm hoping that someone on this list will be able to help me
out in solving the issue. I'd like to get this solved so I can
continue developing with Django using MySQL since that's what my web
server uses as well. I'd hate to have to develop using a different
database engine on my local machine.

Here's what happens when I try to do an easy_install:

Hopefully you've found it by now and didn't have a frustrating
christmas .

Get the source from sourceforge and then follow the instructions here.

Worked perfectly for me on OSX 10.5, python 2.5. Was frustrating to
find. Good luck!
