Bryan, The workaround to your problem is - 1. Install Python2.1.3 on your machine 2. Install Mysql-Python package. It should find Python this time 3. Copy the installed files to the Zope/Python directory. 4. Install MySQLDa. You should now be able to access the Mysql db through Zope Bryan Capitano wrote:
Thank you Larry McDonnell and Mark Gibson,
Your post on ZODBCA helped give me a work-around solution to my windows MySQL database. I have Access and MySQL installed on Windows. I have MyODBC installed so I can look at MySQL databases using the ODBC protocol.
I just installed the Zope ODBC adapter (as per your post). Now I can look at MySQL databasese through ZODBC.
Cool!
But I would like to see if I can't still get the MySQL-Python and MySQLDa adapter working on Windows.
Thanks, Bryan

I am trying to install the MySQL-Python-0.9.0 package onto my WinXP Prof. machine with Zope 2.5.1. Having problems: the MySQL-Python-0.9.0.exe installer stops with:
"Select Python Installation to use: Select Installation directory:"
Well,... there is nothing to select in this window. And the textbox won't let me type an installation directory either. This is as far as I can get with this exe installer. I have to cancel out of it because it won't let me go to "Next-->".
I've also tried the "platform independent" MySQL-Python-0.9.0.tgz from sourceforge. Have tried running the `python setup.py build` and `python setup.py install` commands from the Windows command line. But I get this error:
.... ....build process seems to be going okay.... .... building '_mysql' extension cl.exe /c /nologo /0x /MD /W3 /GX -Ic:\mysql\include "-IC:\Program Files\Website\bin\Include" /Tc_mysql.c /Fobuild\temp.win32-2.1\Release\_mysql.obj error: command 'cl.exe' failed: No such file or directory
Don't get me wrong: I'm a serious Linux user. But I need to make some traveling presentations on the merits of Zope and I only have a WinXP laptop right now for my demonstrations/presentations. No Linux laptop just yet. :( Any help getting MySQL adapters installed on Windows will be much appreciated!
Thanks, Bryan
P.S. I have tried both the .exe and .tgz in versions 0.9.0 as well as 0.9.2. And I have tried both of these on Zope 2.6.0 on Windows as well. No luck in any of these combinations.
