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.

    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?

    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.
