Searching python-list and MySQL

Richard Brosnahan

I hate asking questions that have probably been answered before, but
I have not found a way to conveniently search the archives of this
mailing list.

So...

Can someone tell me how to search this mailing list, short of
downloading every month's archive and searching manually?

Or, can someone tell me how to easily interface with MySQL with
python? I've successfully hooked python up with PostgreSQL, but this
MySQL thing has been more difficult.

I know about mysyql-python
http://sourceforge.net/projects/mysql-python.

I would describe the requirements for building mysql-python as
annoying. OK, if I'm building from scratch, the requirements are
understandable. Still, annoying.

I have a web server running SuSE that does not have MySQL installed,
that I want to connect to a different server running MySQL. In order
to create this python module, it appears I've got to create it on a
server with mysql and mysql-devel, and various other items, and then
move it to the web server.

So I installed those items, reluctantly, on the web server and ran
python2.4 setup.py build
The script complained about a lot of things, including not finding
mysql_config. I then added mysql_config to the PATH, and it generated
a whole slew of other errors related to GCC. GCC is installed...

Someone on this list MUST have solved this before...

Can anyone provide me a hint? Is there a SuSE rpm, that doesn't spew
out 400 dependency errors?

I would very much appreciate any hints.

Huh? How are you accessing it now?

Just point your browser to:

http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.python

and look in the upper right hand corner where there's a box that says
"Search This Group"

Oh, sorry, Richard,

and to answer your question about Python and MySql, try searching on
mxODBC, or better, search on "mxODBC Holden" as Steve Holden seems to
answer every question on sql and Python.

Hope that helps.

Searching for the meaning of gcmodule.c assert:`gc->gc. gc_refs ==GC_REACHABLE'

by: David Helgason | last post by:

I am embedding python on Mac OSX (jaguar + panther) using boost::python. It works like a treat, but when using a python framework with asserts compiled in, I sometimes get an assert from gcmodule.c, line 215 when compiling a script. Modules/gcmodule.c:215: failed asserrtion `gc->gc.gc_refs == GC_REACHABLE' This is maybe the third script I compile, so the python environment should still be very clean.

Searching for a module to generate GUI events

by: Stephan Kuhagen | last post by:

Hello I'm searching for a Python Module which is able to generate GUI events on different platforms (at least X11 and Windows, MacOSX would be nice), but without being a GUI toolkit itself. So PyTk is not a choice, because I need to use it, to control GUIs of other Programs. I want to generate Mouse events (move, click etc.) and keyboard events and inject them directly into the event-queue of the underlying window system. Does...

Re: Does Python 2.5.2's embedded SQLite support full text searching?

by: Daniel Fetchinson | last post by:

Does Python 2.5.2's embedded SQLite support full text searching? Sqlite itself is not distributed with python. Only a python db api compliant wrapper is part of the python stdlib and as such it is completely independent of the sqlite build. In other words, if your sqlite build supports full text searching you can use it through the python sqlite wrapper (that is part of the stdlib) and if it doesn't then not. This is true for any sqlite...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
