I'm trying to install MySQL-python-0.9.0 on a RH 7.3 box. I get this message about "sklpping byte compilation" which I suspect is preventing the Zope MySQL database adapter from being installed. I saw on the web that you've had some experience with this error message...can you offer any suggestions on how to work around this?
The "skipping byte compilation" message simply means that you already
have a version of MySQL-python installed on that box. Since the
distutils skipped byte compilation for *all* files, you probably already
have the exact version that you're trying to install.
You might try blowing away the existing MySQL-python installation and
starting from scratch.
