How to install MySql-python-1.2.3 on Mac OS 10.8

Question

I downloaded http://sourceforge.net/projects/mysql-python/

as well as downloaded Xcode and command line tools.

When I used this command "sudo python setup.py build"

I see it:

running build running build_py copying MySQLdb/release.py -> build/lib.macosx-10.8-intel-2.7/MySQLdb running build_ext building '_mysql' extension clang -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-common -dynamic -g -Os -pipe -fno-common -fno-strict- aliasing -fwrapv -mno-fused-madd -DENABLE_DTRACE -DMACOSX -DNDEBUG -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes - Wshorten-64-to-32 -DNDEBUG -g -Os -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -DENABLE_DTRACE -pipe - Dversion_info=(1,2,4,'beta',4) -D__version__=1.2.4b4 - I/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/include/mysql - I/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/include/python2.7 -c _mysql.c -o build/temp.macosx-10.8-intel-2.7/_mysql.o -mmacosx-version-min=10.4 -arch i386 -arch ppc -D_P1003_1B_VISIBLE -DSIGNAL_WITH_VIO_CLOSE -DSIGNALS_DONT_BREAK_READ -DIGNORE_SIGHUP_SIGQUIT -DDONT_DECLARE_CXA_PURE_VIRTUAL clang: warning: not using the clang compiler for the 'powerpc' architecture _mysql.c:44:10: fatal error: 'my_config.h' file not found #include "my_config.h" ^ 1 error generated. error: command 'clang' failed with exit status 1 

How can I do now ???

Answer 1

The MySQL version of MAMP does not come with dev headers. You must either download, or install the official release of MySQL, or integrate the headers into MAMP according to: http://dreamconception.com/tech/how-to-install-mysqldb-mysql-python-on-mamp/

You also need to install MySQL .

I suggest saving problems and taking a look at something like django bitnami stack . It contains MySQL and mysql-python all wrapped up with a simple one-click installation.
