The setup.py script uses mysql_config to find all compiler and linker
options, and should work as is on any POSIX-like platform, so long as
mysql_config is in your path.
Depending on which version of MySQL you have, you may have the option
of using three different client libraries:
- mysqlclient
- mostly but not guaranteed thread-safe
- mysqlclient_r
- thread-safe, use if you can
- mysqld
- embedded server
mysqlclient_r is used by default. To use one of the others, set
the environment variable mysqlclient to the name of the library
you want to use. In a Bourne-style shell, use:
$ export mysqlclient=mysqlclient
Only do this if you don't have the thread-safe library (mysqlclient_r)
or you want to use the embedded server (mysqld).
Finally, putting it together:
$ tar xfz MySQL-python-1.1.10.tar.gz
$ cd MySQL-python-1.1.10
$ python setup.py build
$ su # or use sudo
# python setup.py install
NOTE: You must export environment variables for setup.py to see them.
Depending on what shell you prefer, you may need to use "export" or
"set -x" (bash and other Bourne-like shells) or "setenv" (csh-like
shells).
I don't do Windows. However if someone provides me with a package for
Windows, I'll make it available. Don't ask me for help with Windows
because I can't help you.
Generally, though, running setup.py is similar to above:
C:\...> python setup.py install
C:\...> python setup.py bdist_wininst
The latter example should build a Windows installer package, if you
have the correct tools. In any event, you must have a C compiler.
Additionally, you have to set an environment variable (mysqlroot)
which is the path to your MySQL installation. In theory, it would be
possible to get this information out of the registry, but like I said,
I don't do Windows, but I'll accept a patch that does this.
If you are using a binary package of Zope, you need run setup.py with
the python executable that came with Zope. Otherwise, you'll install
into the wrong Python tree and Zope (ZMySQLDA) will not be able to
find _mysql.
With zope.org's Zope-2.5.1-linux2-x86 binary tarball, you'd do
something like this:
$ export ZOPEBIN=".../Zope-2.5.1-linux2-x86/bin" # wherever you unpacked it
$ $ZOPEBIN/python setup.py install # builds and installs
I don't plan to make binary packages any more. However, if someone
contributes one, I will make it available. Several OS vendors have
their own packages available.
If you prefer to install RPMs, you can use the bdist_rpm command with
setup.py. This only builds the RPM; it does not install it. You may
want to use the --python=XXX option, where XXX is the name of the
Python executable, i.e. python, python2, python2.1; the default is
python. Using this will incorporate the Python executable name into
the package name for the RPM so you have install the package multiple
times if you need to support more than one version of Python.
MySQL-python is pre-packaged in Red Hat Linux 7.x and newer. This
likely includes Fedora Core and Red Hat Enterprise Linux. You can also
build your own RPM packages as described above.
Packaged as mysql-python. Gentoo is also my development platform:
# emerge sync
# emerge mysql-python
# emerge zmysqlda # if you use Zope
MySQL-python is a ported package in FreeBSD, NetBSD, and OpenBSD,
although the name may vary to match OS conventions.
