From: Deb B. Thanks for your response Chris. I would appreciate ANY assistance with the installation of these products. I've had them downloaded for quite a while but because I'm no programmer I couldn't figure out how to install them on Windows with express instructions...which the author didn't provide. Do you or anyone else have instructions for installing on Windows which is geared toward the non-programmer? I can figure most things out myself, but this one eluded me.... Thanks for any help you/anyone can offer.
Here's something I accidentally posted off-list to someone doing this sort of thing, but I reckon I should rectify this. There was only one brick wall I came across when installing 'MySQL for Python' in order to use MySQL with Zope. After having installed zope and MySQL, I tried to install MySQL for Python, but when it asked for the directory to install to there was no way to enter anything. I finally found the following message from http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=621106&forum_id=70461 which provides a fix. " By: locquet ( Bertrand LOCQUET ) RE: Install Win32 Pythonware Distro 2002-10-03 07:36 I found a solution Before installing MySQL-python-0.9.2.win32-py2.1.exe Just add an entry to you register base : [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Python\PythonCore\2.1\InstallPath] @="C:\\Program Files\\WebSite\\bin" Replace the default value @= with the path to you python.exe installed with Zope. Then run the MySQL-python installation and select the entry. It works well ;-) " The alternative is to install Python separately, then install MySQL for Python and copy the files over. I reckon that's more pain so I didn't do it. The ZMySQLDA (which is also required) was an easy install.
