MySQLdb-0.0.3 has just been released. You'll find it at: http://starship.python.net/crew/adustman I ran this sucker for about three hours (140 CPU minutes) with two simultanous threads with no leakage evident. However, there's an outside chance it may leak with more threads (like 10 or so). For you Zope smokers, there is a patch to ZMySQLDA to make it work with MySQLdb instead of MySQLmodule-1.4. Does it work? Maybe yes, maybe no; read the patch and don't complain to me if you go up or down an octave. Keep in mind, it won't work at all without at least MySQL-3.22.19, and MySQLmodule-1.4 uses 3.21.x AFAIK. 3.22.25 seems okay, except some weirdness with TIME columns (not my fault). And you need Python 1.5.2, but you need that for Zope 2.0.0 anyway, so get it. If you're actually using this module for something, I'd like to hear about it. Here is the FAQ: Q: Why do I have problems importing (missing symbols)? A: Either you don't have Python 1.5.2 (missing PyLong_FromLongLong) or you are linking against a shared output version of the MySQL client library and it's not on your LD_LIBRARY_PATH. (That's really the only frequently asked question at this point.) -- andy dustman | programmer/analyst | comstar communications corporation telephone: 770.485.6025 / 706.549.7689 | icq: 32922760 | pgp: 0xc72f3f1d
