在OSX上使用MySQLdb的问题：找不到符号_mysql_affected_rows

Question

This is related to a previous question .

However, the main posted solution there is not working for me. I'm on Snow Leopard, using the 32-bit 5.1.49 MySQL dmg install. I'm using the built in python (apparently, as noted in the comments, my Python version is different), which appears to be 2.6.5 32-bit:

Python 2.6.5 (r265:79359, Mar 24 2010, 01:32:55) 
[GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Inc. build 5493)] on darwin

I've downloaded MySQL-python 1.2.3 from the usual location and changed site.cfg so that mysql_config points to the right place and the registry_key directive is commented out. The packages seems to build and install just fine:

But when I try to use it, I get this:

All I can find on the web are older examples of this problem, along with numerous rants about how hard it is to get MySQL-python working on OSX. If anyone can help with this, I would greatly appreciate it!!

Answer 1

The only (admittedly kludgy) solution that I ended up getting to work was to use MySQL-python-1.2.2 after applying this patch , cobbled together from advice found here ( http://www.mangoorange.com/2008/08/01/installing-python-mysqldb-122-on-mac-os-x/ ) and here ( http://flo.nigsch.com/?p=62 ). Sorry for the lack of links but I don't have enough rep points to post more than one link.
