Note: MySQL-python is an extension to python and ZMySQLDA is the Zope DA/product. I was installing MySQL-python and the Zope MySQL database adapter last week on a Linux box and encountered a few problems. Here's a few suggestions which might help you. First, you need to build and install MySQL-python as discussed in the README. Make sure you are using the copy of python that is driving Zope. Do you have multiple copies of python on your machine? I also found it necessary to edit setup.py to change the threadsafe option to NO (as I didn't have the mysqlclient threadsafe libraries for some reason). Once I had built and installed MySQL-python (with no errors), the ZMySQLDA product worked fine. You may also need to check you have versions of python and mysql (including the development libraries) which are compatible with MySQL-python (see the MySQL-python README). I have python 2.1.3 and mysql 3.23, which work fine. Hope this helps. Erik.

Hello all: I just get MySQL-python and try to set it up in Zope. But Zope can't import it.Because Zope think there is no module name _mysql.

Dos any one have solv this puzzle?

Here is some of README in MySQL-python doc: "If you are using a binary package of Zope, you need run setup.py with Zope's python executable. Otherwise, Zope (ZMySQLDA) will not be able to find _mysql."

God be with all of you.
