[Zope] ZMySQL - can't get it to work

[Norman Khine]

Python2.0 already has Distutils and MySQL-python pre-builds correctly -- one
thing you have to look out is that in the Setup.py file you need to ensure
that the line whatever your os is

elif os.name == "posix": # most Linux/UNIX platforms
    include_dirs = ['/usr/local/mysql/include/mysql']
    library_dirs = ['/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql']

Point the include_dirs and library_dirs to the path of your MySQL dirs

Then you'll need to untar the ZMySQLDA into your zope directory.

Restart zope and hopefully all will be fine;^)

To check whether python can connect to MySQL at the python prompt type
>>import _mysql
>>

or >>import MySQL
>>

if you don't get traceback errors then mysql-python is configured correctly

Hello,

I have just made a fresh install of Zope (vers. 2.3.2) and now I want to add
the ZMySQL product.
But ...

I have installed Distutils ...
I have compiled the MySQL-python module ... but I am not sure where to put
the _mysql.so module.

I have tried to untar the ZMySQL tarball into
Zope/lib/python/Products/ZMySQL
When I restart the Zope I just get an error: Import error - no module named
_mysql
Then I tried to copy the _mysql.so module into the ZMySQL dir but then I got
the following error:
Import error: _mysql.so: undefined symbol PyObject_Init

Okay ... what have I missed here?
I have followed the readme files.

My python version is 2.0

Regards,
--
