[Pythonmac-SIG] MySQLdb Lib Help

[Larry Meyn]

Chris,

My previous comments assumed that you had installed the framework  
build of Python, which if I had read your message better I would have  
know was wrong.  Sorry, no morning coffee yet.  It is possible that  
the MySQLdb was installed in the wrong location.  As Craig said it  
should be in /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3/lib/ 
python2.3/site-packages/

Sorry about the misunderstanding.

Larry
