Thanks for this. I was wondering what to do about talking to MySQL.
You rock. This was about to suck.
Awesome. I was almost there but gave up after seeing this:
running build_ext
building ‘_mysql’ extension
error: Unable to find vcvarsall.bat
Why the hell does Python 2.6 have to be such a pain…
That sucks… if only Windows and every flavor of Linux had a mutual equivalent to the Synaptic Package Manager as found in Ubuntu..
Yeah I got this far as well trying to compile. I downloaded Mingw but that didn’t have the vcvarsall.bat, so I was started download MSVC++ 2008 and I saw this post.
Thanks to whoever made that executable!

Great!
I translated your post to spanish in http://retrorock.info/2009/05/python-26-mysql/
Hooray!
I can move to 2.6.
Thanks!
This took some finding for sure! I needed 2.6 for HTTP time-outs and was stuck because of MySQLdb. Now there is hope. It’s about time MySQL was formally included as a module.
Completely agreed– It kills me that Python doesn’t have an official module for MySQL.
Thanks! I’ve decided to use python to build my system’s thesis … i think it will help me a lot.
Thank you!!!!!
suh-weeeet
Another thank you to you !!!
Thanks, this really helped!
Ehi, good post!
I can use mysql in my python 2.6 on windows with this “obscure”
Thanks for this info!
I was getting a bit frustrated when building the package from sources, under Windows, wouldn’t work…
Thank you. Now it works
Just a note in case some of you run into problems: 32-bit version of python is required
Yes, that is a problem which plagues almost every flagship python module for Windows platforms. 64-bit python is definitely not ready for Windows developers. Another major problem package is PIL, the imaging library!
[...] Python 2.6 & MySQL [...]
You’re a lifesaver.
Hi,
I installed python26 (32bit) and the ‘obscure’ mySQL release…but when importing that via import MySQLdb it says:
“ImportError: DLL load failed: %1 is no valid win32 application.”
Want to use it with maya2012 64bit…maybe THIS is the issue?
I’m not familiar with that specific error, but it makes me think that perhaps MySQL itself isn’t properly installed? MySQLdb is an adapter, “bindings” for communicating with the MySQL installation on the machine.
