I just tried a build of the MySQL-python-0.3.5 module and I get a file not found error because I don't have a cl.exe, which is apparently something I need to finish the build. Does anyone know what I'm missing? I have Python 2.0 and MySQL 3.23.33 on win2000

You need Microsoft Visual C (6.x?) to compile what you want.

Ok, I installed Microsoft Visual C++ from Studio 6, and after I did a successful build and install of the setup.py file for the MySQL-python-0.3.5 I installed it in a folder in my python directory: C:\Python20\win32comext\MySQL-python-0.3.5 But the reason I was compiling this module is because it is required for the installation of the ZMySQLDA database adaptor.

Installation

The Z MySQL database adapter uses the MySQLdb package. This must be installed before you can use the Z MySQL DA. Instructions on building the extension modules are given in the the README.txt file in the source directory.

Ok, I got this far, but I extract the ZMySQLDA to the <zope-root>/lib/pyton/products directory, and the product doesn't install properly. It appears broken in the products list. Here is the error it gives on startup:

Traceback (innermost last): File C:\zopes\chikoon\lib\python\OFS\Application.py, line 536 in import_products (Object: string) File C:\zopes\chikoon\lib\python\Products\ZMySQLA\__init__.py, line 91, in ? File C:\zopes\chikoon\lib\python\Products\ZMySQLA\DA.py, line 91, in ? File C:\zopes\chikoon\lib\python\Products\ZMySQLA\db.py, line 89, in ?

Any ideas??? Is there something else besides the MySQLdb that I must compile for the product to be successfully installed?
