MySQLdb and bits

[Dafydd Hughes]

Hi there

This is my first post to the list - please forgive me if this has been 
addressed elsewhere.

I'm running MySQL 32-bit in Snow Leopard, and had MySQLdb working well. 
I switched to 64-bit, rebuilt MySQLdb, and again it worked fine within 
Python, but had to switch back to 32 bit - I'm using a wrapper for 
Python within Pure Data, and it forces Python to 32-bit.

So back to 32-bit. It works fine wrapped in Pd, but if I try import 
MySQLdb from the terminal, I get:

 >>> import MySQLdb
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
   File "build/bdist.macosx-10.6-fat/egg/MySQLdb/__init__.py", line 19,

   File "build/bdist.macosx-10.6-fat/egg/_mysql.py", line 6, in 
__bootstrap__
ImportError: 
dlopen(/Users/dafydd/.python-eggs/MySQL_python-1.2.3c1-py2.6-macosx-10.6-fat.egg-tmp/_mysql.so,

/Users/dafydd/.python-eggs/MySQL_python-1.2.3c1-py2.6-macosx-10.6-fat.egg-tmp/_mysql.so: 
mach-o, but wrong architecture

Is there a solution to this? I assume this is happening because Python's 
trying to work 64-bit but MySQLdb was built 32. Am I way off base?

Thanks for any help.

cheers
