[Pythonmac-SIG] P4Python, MySQLdb, or Python Extensions

[Nehemiah Dacres]

.so, if im not mistaken is eather a linux shared library or not a mac shared
library (someone correct me if im wrong) try making sure the python version
you chose is the one for mac. the best supported python for mac is
macpython<http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.5.1/>(distributes
in a mac installer package) from the python website but another
more linux like one would be the darwinports one or the fink one. Try
looking here
