[Zope] MySQL-Python problems on Win32

[Bryan Capitano]

Thank you Larry McDonnell and Mark Gibson,

Your post on ZODBCA helped give me a work-around solution to my windows
MySQL database.
I have Access and MySQL installed on Windows.
I have MyODBC installed so I can look at MySQL databases using the ODBC
protocol.

I just installed the Zope ODBC adapter (as per your post). Now I can look at
MySQL databasese through ZODBC.

Cool!

But I would like to see if I can't still get the MySQL-Python and MySQLDa
adapter working on Windows.


Thanks,
Bryan
