I’ve been struggling with installation of Python Mysql.

Here is my setup procedure.

Install Mysql 5.5.15 x32 first

In ~/.bash_profile, add
# let python run as 32 bit
export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/mysql/lib/
export VERSIONER_PYTHON_PREFER_64_BIT=no
export VERSIONER_PYTHON_PREFER_32_BIT=yes

then,
defaults write com.apple.versioner.python Prefer-32-Bit -bool yes

Download MySQL_python-1.2.3-py2.7
ARCHFLAGS=’-arch i386′ python setup.py build
sudo ARCHFLAGS=’-arch i386′ python setup.py instal

All done

My Question is that should python mysql itself provide better solution for the installation? Anyway, it’s open source.
