Thanks for the build and the tip for windows 7 64 bit. I am also trying to run Django but keep getting “Error loading MySQLdb module: DLL load failed with error code 193″. I have tried to put the DLL file in the python directory and my project directory and the mysqlDB package directory but no lucky. Could you suggest me what does “program directory” exactly mean?
Thanks in advance.

When i try using the “MySQL-python-1.2.2.win-amd64-py2.6.exe”, the installer freezes during setup and I don’t know why. I am using Python 2.6.4 64-bit on windows 7 64-bit.

Thank you.

Thanks for providing these. Saved me much time with a Windows installation of a Django web site.

OMG I LOVE YOU. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

I just wasted four hours of my life trying to get Visual C and mingw and distutils and Python to all play nicely on 64bit Vista. And then I spent all of thirty seconds clicking next and install in your application.

Thanks again!

Can you run MySQL-python-1.2.3c1.win32-py2.6.exe and MySQL-python-embedded-1.2.3c1.win32-py2.6.exe side by side?

if so how?

I tried and it didn’t seem to work.

from MySQLdb import connect
File “C:\Python26\lib\site-packages\MySQLdb\__init__.py”, line 19, in

Hello,

I’m trying to get Py 2.6 and Mysql running on a windows 7 (64-Bit) system.
It works fine – thanx a lot!

The only problem I experienced is the following:
The installer stops with windows exception (I don’t know how to call it) if I don’t use the predefined path. (I tried the “german” path c:\programme\python26

Any ideas?

Thomas
