MySQLdb & Python 2.4 on Windows

Hello

Yesterday I installed Python 2.4. Since I often work with MySQL, I need
the MySQLdb module, wich worked fine under 2.3. Now, it doesn't work
under 2.4, it says it needs python 2.3 when I try to install the module.
Now I have some (rather nooby) questions:
1. Has anyone tried installing MySQLdb 1.0 under Python 2.4 and has he
succeeded? Please let me know how to do it or where I can find more
information.
2. Is it possible to use Python 2.4 & 2.3 next to each other without
conflicts? This is probably not a real descent solution...
It wouldn't be a problem to downgrade to 2.3, but since 2.4 works fine
too, I don't see why I shouldn't use it, if I don't mind the MySQL
problems of course.

Thanks in advance!

yes, assuming "next to each other" means "on the same machine".

but binary extensions are bound to the Python version they were built
for; you cannot use a 2.3 extension with 2.4 on windows.

Yes, that is what I mean. I think I will switch back to 2.3 for a while,
untill MySQLdb can work with 2.4 or untill I find a way to use it with
2.4. Thanks for your help!

Using the recently-publicized methods for the using the freely-available
(i.e. costless) Microsoft tool chain I managed to create a Windows
installer for MySQLdb-1.1.4.

If anyone's interested in this I guess I could post it on a web site
and/or let Andy Dustman have a copy.

[pauses to check that the module actually imports and works ...]

Yep, works fine for a small test ;-) so I'm mailing it to Andy next
thing I do.

Steve

Good job! It would be nice if I could have a copy of your installer. I
am one of the interested people ;-)

As I reported, I've shipped a copy of the installer to Andy Dustman, so
it will appear on SourceForge in due course. For those who can't wait,
there's a copy at

http://pydish.holdenweb.com/pwp/MySQ...in32-py2.4.exe

Enjoy!
