Introduction For any fully functional deployable application, the persistence of data is indispensable. A trivial way of storing data would be to write it to a file in the hard disk, but one would prefer writing the application specific data to a database for obvious reasons. Python provides language support for writing data to a wide range of databases. Python DB API At the heart of Python support for database programming is the Python DB API () which does not depend on any specific database engine. Depending on the database we use at the persistence layer, an appropriate implementation of Python DB API should be imported and used in our program.

In this tutorial, we will be demonstrating how to use Python to connect to MySQL database and do transactions with it. For this, we will be using the Python package.

Before we proceed with connecting to the database using Python, we need to install MySQL connector for Python. This can be done in two ways: • One way is to download the appropriate installer for the OS and bit version directly from the.

• Another way is to use pip to install it.

On my Mac running Mac OS X 10.5.8, I have the latest XCode tools and Python 2.5 installed. I installed MySQL 5.1 from the package version. I also got the MySQL-python-1.2.3c1.tar.gz which Mac unzipped in the downloads folder. To get installation instructions I read the following blog entry: MySQL, Python and MacOS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) Since I don't know much about Unix, I don't understand the instructions provided here. Shell> PATH='/usr/local/mysql/bin:$PATH' shell> tar xzf MySQL-python-1.2.3c1.tar.gz shell> cd MySQL-python-1.2.3c1 shell> ARCHFLAGS='-arch x86_64' /usr/bin/python setup.py build shell> /usr/bin/python setup.py install I don't know whether the $PATH has already been set. Since MySQL-python-1.2.3c1.tar.gz has already been unzipped; there is a folder MySQL-python-1.2.3c1 in the downloads folder, I assume I don't have to run shell> tar xzf MySQL-python-1.2.3c1.tar.gz MySQL-python-1.2.3c1 resides in the download folder so shell> cd MySQL-python-1.2.3c1 doesn't seem to make sense.

Secretele comunicarii larry king pdf to word free. Where should the folder go? Shell> ARCHFLAGS='-arch x86_64' /usr/bin/python setup.py build shell> /usr/bin/python setup.py install I have no idea what the two lines of code above do. I downloaded the MySQL Installer Package for Mac OS X 10.5 x86 not x86-64. Could you please provide me with more detailed instructions on how to get MySQLdb installed. Kind regards, Annet.

Installing MySQL Python on Mac OS X. Ask Question 25. Long story short, when I write the following: sudo easy_install MySQL-python. An easy way to do this on a Mac is to run. Brew install mysql-connector-c to delegate this task to homebrew. If you are on linux.
