For the life of me I can not figure out how to get easy_install to<br>
work. The syntax displayed on the web page does not appear to work<br>
properly.<br>
<br>
easy_install c:\MySQL_python-1.2.2-py2.4-win32.egg<br>

<br>
It usually works for me - so what does "not appear to work properly"<br>
actually mean?<br>

I updated my easy_install, used the scripts directory, dropped the "c:\" and it gave the response below for me:<br>
<br>

I hope that this is of some help.</blockquote><div><br>the py2.4 part of the egg implies that it was compiled for Python 2.4. You are trying to use Python 2.5. Try looking for MySQL-python-1.2.2-py2.5-win32.egg instead.<br>
