MySQL-python 1.2.3 for Windows and Python 2.7, 32bit and 64bit versions

Last Updated on Sunday, 19 September 2010 04:58 Written by Ioannis Lalopoulos Sunday, 19 September 2010 02:27

I have added to the downloads page two distributions of the mysql-python module 1.2.3 for python 2.7

The distributions are:

  MySQL-python-1.2.3.win32-py2.7.exe (1,023.1 KiB)


  MySQL-python-1.2.3.win-amd64-py2.7.exe (1.0 MiB)

Some quick notes:

  1. The choice of 32bit and 64bit depends on the version of python you have installed in your computer and not in the operating system or the server you want to access. So if you have the 32 bit python 2.7 installed on your 64 bit Windows, you will download and install the 32 bit version.
  2. Some python distributions do not make correct registry entries when they install the 64bit python. If this is the case the 64 bit mysql-python installer will not find your python installation. This means that the 64bit python version has been wrongly set in the registry under the Wow6432Node which is under convention for 32bit software only. You will have to add/move the python registry node in the correct place i.e. in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE  for more info see my post in sourceforge http://bit.ly/c8J6Yr . If your python is from the official distribution (http://www.python.org)  you will not have this problem.

Following are the results  of the test suite that comes with mysql-python on the newly build distributions (I had to edit the tests in three places to replace deprecated test methods in 2.7  that were giving, for that reason, warnings and subsequently two failures in the test_MySQLdb_capabilities.py)

    Hello,
    whenever I try to install th mysql module for python 2.7 I get the message, that the (10.)exe – file does not work anymore.
    Python 2.7 is installed.
    Can anyone help me?
    (I get the same problem when switching to an older version)
    Thank you
    Carola

    Hi,

    Just a quick note to let you know how much time this just saved me. I just spent the better part of a day trying to get MySQLdb to compile on Windows before I came across your packages. Many thanks for the work.

    @Carola: you have to install it from administrator account.

    Hi,

    like the previous poster I spent quite some time trying to install MySQLdb on Win7 – without any success – before I found your packages. Many thanks for your excellent work.

    You are a life saver. I’m a PHP programmer taking an intro to python course and I was in way over my head trying to figure all this out on my own. Thank you so much for doing this.

  9. David   |  Monday, 06 December 2010 at 20:30

    I am most grateful for your binaries, as haven’t been able to figure out how to build my own in several years. I use both the standard server version and the embedded version for different builds of my software. Will you be making a version of the embedded database for Python 2.7?

    Words cannot explain how much this has helped me today. Keep up the great work you’re doing for the (Windows) community!

    Wow, thank you for this! I am really liking Python and Django a lot, mostly because the people behind them seem to understand that if you take the time to write coherent documentation and make installation easy, people will choose your product over others. I feel the open source community forgets that far too often. Windows may be an inferior OS, and VB .NET may make you roll your eyes, but they are popular because Microsoft made them easy for the average person to get started with. You don’t need to run seventeen command line scripts and manually edit five config files that are only referenced in poor, out-of-date documentation to get them running. I love the open source community and it pains me that they don’t seem to get this, but you do, so thank you.

    Just used this to install mysql-python into a virtual env by installing it into site-packages in the python install and then copying everything starting with ‘mysql’ into site-packages in my virtual env. Seemed to work – however, wondering if there’s a better way to do this? At the moment the installer picks up the python interpreter from the registry and so doesn’t support virtual envs, unless I’m missing something.
    Thanks, BTW – I was struggling to build from source (couldn’t get past gcc: error: /Zl: No such file or directory).

  59. J   |  Tuesday, 07 February 2012 at 04:29

    Awesome – took me a day to find this, but I did, and it works.

    Thank you for posting it.

    Thx a lot. You saved me much time.

  61. Mark Jones   |  Tuesday, 14 February 2012 at 22:36

    It would be TRULY awesome if you could key the virtual env you wanted it installed into. That way I wouldn’t have to resort to things like

    xcopy c:\python27\lib\site-packages\MySQLdb c:\Python\VirtualENV\lib\site-packages\MySQLdb /s/e
    And tell it that this is a directory (not a file)
    xcopy c:\python27\lib\site-packages\MySQL_python-1.2.3-py2.7.egg-info c:\Python\VirtualENV\lib\site-packages\ MySQL_python-1.2.3-py2.7.egg-info /s/e
    And tell it that this is a directory (not a file)

    copy c:\python27\lib\site-packages\_mysql*.* c:\Python\VirtualENV\lib\site-packages

    You may at some point have to deal with 1.2.3 being something else, and of course VirtualENV is the virtualENV you need the support in.

  62. sashan   |  Monday, 27 February 2012 at 16:11

    Absolutely awesome man, thanx a lot.
    Was struggling a lot with the package but your installer did the job just like that !

  63. Hari   |  Friday, 02 March 2012 at 09:43

    Hi just wanted to give you a quick heads up and let you know a few of the images aren’t loading correctly. I’m not
    sure why but I think its a linking issue. I’ve tried it in two different web browsers and both show the same outcome.

    Thank you for the heads up, images are fixed now.
