[Tutor] Distributing MySQL with my application

[Lauren Snyder]

Hello!

 

I have written an application in python that uses a MySQL database. I want
to distribute this application to many users so I created an executable
using GUI2exe. My executable works marvelously. However, when attempting to
run the app on a computer that doesn't have the MySQL server running, I
obviously get the error: Can't connect MySQL server on localhost.  

 

So I have some questions around this problem:

 

1.	Is it possible to bundle the database into my application?
2.	Do I have to write a script that installs the database server
locally?
3.	Do I have to make "Users must have MySQL server running" as a
pre-requisite for using my software?
4.	Did I miss an option in GUI2exe that allows me to set up my exe to
use MySQL?

 

Thank you,

Lauren
