I can't really help you since I don't use python or leopard. I just wanted to say a few things: On Jan 31, 2008, at 09:29, Suresh Pillai wrote:

I was imprecise on python25 not installing. In fact, it was py25- hashlib that failed to compile, a dependency for py25-mysql.

I don't see any tickets open about py25-hashlib so you should show us the error you get when trying to build it, or file it in a ticket

I've also found with some googling that the py-mysql error can be fixed on LEOPARD by commenting out from _mysql.c

#ifndef uint #define uint unsigned int #endif

Apologies if everyone already knew this. :)

The py25-mysql portfile does indeed include a patchfile which does just that. It was added 2 months ago specifically to fix build issues on leopard: http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/changeset/31502 This implies that it should work on leopard.

I've got things working with system python and downloads of mysql/ mysql-python so I guess I'll stick it out while Leopard problems with Macports python are being dealt with.

Thanks, Suresh

I am running

Macports 1.6 OS X 10.5 xcode 3.0 xquartz 2.1.3

python24 installs fine but gives me bus errors for the simplest of things like printing a list. Someone else mentioned this too back in Nov but I didnt see any responses to the thread. Also py-mysql won't compile (log not show since python itself is unstable).

So I tried python25/py25-mysql and python25 won't even compile.

I am new to OSX and Macports, but if I can't get python working ...

Okay, so I thought I'd stick with the system python and downloaded the source for python-mysql from sourceforge. I got errors installing that too, although the errors were related to the macports install of mysql5:

Anyone got py-mysql/mysql-python working using the base Apple python? Otherwise I am reverting to linux.
