The warning looks familiar. Are you running python from the MySQLdb
source directory? ie. /opt/downloads/py-modules/MySQL-python-1.2.3c1
I think you just need to change directories and the warning will go
away. Check what's happening on line 3 of _mysql.py I don't have the
source in front of me.

Hi Sean,<BR>

You are right. I was trying to import the module sitting on the source folder <IMG SRC="cid:1269488448.14968.20.camel@localhost" ALIGN="middle" ALT=":"-)" BORDER="0">. Thanks for your quick response and let me try further. <BR>
