Python Suggestion - Installation of MySQLdb module

[ydahs]

For those of us who need access to MySQL databases have no way of doing this through Python due to the module not being installed. I've searched the forums and it seems that such an option was once available but was removed after a server upgrade.

Any chance of having it reinstalled? If not, is there anyway to possibly manually install it? If so, can I theoretically install other Python modules such as WSGI?

I would also like to see a response to this. Not that i need python or even my free account, i have seen several people ask for these 2 modules, and in my opinion, python isn't very useful as a web service if it can't access mysql.

I wonder if Corey would be okay if we ran a poll to see which extensions should be added to perl, python or php.

We'd probably get a good number of useless extensions that wouldn't do much good though; the mysql-db one is practically required though. I mean, php without mysql is practically just html >_<

i say no. What php extensions do you need, that you can't reproduce in pure php. How many python modules for web based systems are written in C? No comment for perl since i dun know it.

I will try to get mysql-db installed for everyone this week sometime.

Pcntl

within the scope of users on x10's free hosting
I can't imagine free users needing to control process.

I'm currently learning Python at university and I'd like to use it with MySQL. Sure one can replicate it in PHP, but that limits what one can do in Python through x10hosting since if they want database integration, they're forced to use PHP or another alternative.

Better to have more then option then no option at all, especially if it means installing one module.

I will try to get mysql-db installed for everyone this week sometime.

That's good to know. Cheers!

MySQLdb has been installed for the python 2.4, 2.5, and 2.6 binaries on all free hosting servers.

Let me know if they are not working properly. =)

Hello Everybody

I'm a new user here and I was interested with the Python feature of x10hosting.

I'd like to rewrite a code of mine from PHP to Python (mainly for fun ) but it looks like the MySQLdb module is not installed on the chopin server.
I looked under the sys.path directories but it's not there :frown:

I would be very grateful if it could be installed
I'm using Python version 2.6.

Keep up the good work !

Hello !

I'm sorry to ask it again but could MySQLdb be reinstalled on Chopin (for Python 2.6) ?

Also I saw that the sqlite module is broken (import sqlite3 gives some errors):

/usr/local/lib/python2.6/sqlite3/__init__.py in ()
from dbapi2 import *
dbapi2 undefined
 /usr/local/lib/python2.6/sqlite3/dbapi2.py in ()
import time

from _sqlite3 import *
 paramstyle = "qmark"
_sqlite3 undefined

<type 'exceptions.ImportError'>: No module named _sqlite3 
      args = ('No module named _sqlite3',) 
      message = 'No module named _sqlite3'

I found another way to access the database with a 100% Python module

Could you please install the MySQLdb for Python 2.6?

Currently Python and Perl are disabled on the Free servers and there is no ETA on when/if they will be enabled again, so installing modules, etc, is not an option.
