HOT DAMN! Ya know, I could have sworn that's the version I d'l'd since the Web page d'l link was colored in such a way as to indicate I'd visited it, but you're right, I had an old version, ripped it out, installed the new and bang! I'm in business! THANKS!!!! BenO At 02:39 PM 1/3/02 +0100, you wrote:

You have to take care about the versions ov ZMySQLDA and MySQL-python

I attached my db.py for corresponding with ZMySQLDA 2.0.8 .

I *think* that you not have ZMySQLDA 2.0.8, sorry ;-) take a look at VERSION.txt of ZMySQLDA

Change the import statement in db.py from

import MySQL

into

import _mysql

Well, then it doesn't find things like MySQL.error (or, _mysql.error, if you prefer, which apparently doesn't exist). Thanks for your continued help...hopefully we get to the bottom of this! TIA, BenO
