Failing connection with MySQLdb on Mac OS X

Getting weird error, and I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions.
My system appears to satisfy all MySQLdb prerequisities in terms of
python, mysql, etc. Also, phpMyAdmin works fine with mysql, leading me
to believe that my installation of MySQLdb is at fault. Any ideas?

TIA
For file test1.py (for appropriate values of user and passwd, and
database location exists)

import MySQLdb
db = MySQLdb.Connect ( host="localhost ", user="yyy", passwd="xxx",
db="location" )

Error is :

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "test1.py", line 3, in ?
db="location" )

"/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framewor k/Versions/2.3/lib/

Greetings, I am attempting to get MySQLdb 0.9.2 installed on Mac OS 10.2 with a Fink distribution of Python 2.2.2. I have seen only a few posts on the subject, some of them relate to "conflicting header files," but I don't know what to do about conflicting header files, or where I would find them, and once I found them, which ones to remove. I have compiled MySQL 4.1 and installed into /usr/local/mysql, but since have moved to a Fink...

Hi, First off, I am a newbie to Python and so far I must say that we're getting along pretty well. My schooling was is C/C++, but have been writing code in, dare I say it, VB, for the past 4 years.

I am using SPE w/WXGlade to setup the GUI, so it handled the initial formatting of my python code as two seperate classes, one for the APP and one for the Frame.

Hello, First, this is my first post on this list! A little about myself: I'm the lead technical director in a 3D animation studio, in Montreal. A lot of the Python code I write is to be used in an application that embeds Python, that is, Softimage|XSI. Right now I'm re-writing the render farm software that runs on render nodes, in this project is what made me learn Python in the first place. My first question is related to that. :-)
