MySQL for Python

Will a 1.2.3 release (or other) be made incorporating this change?

Works on Python 2.6. Any idea when this will make it into a non-beta
release?

Also, while working with this bug, I noticed that the ez_setup part of the
installation scripts is broken, as it's trying to pull down versions of
distutils from cheeseshop which don't exist. I fixed that by hand, but it
probably be fixed in the distro. Want a separate bug report for this?

This one now ought to be fixed as well.

The MySQLdb/__init__.py update works for me on Python 2.6 (using MySQLdb
1.2.2 plus MySQLdb/__init__.py revision 554).

That leaves MySQLdb/converters.py still using the deprecated sets module.
When I originally filed this bug I have noticed you imported BaseSet,

from sets import BaseSet, Set

However, you are not actually using BaseSet, but just Set in the Str2Set
function. This means a simple fix is possible:

from sets import BaseSet, Set
#more code here
def Str2Set(s):
....return Set([ i for i in s.split(',') if i ])

becomes:

try :
....set
except NameError:
....from sets import Set as set
#more code here
def Str2Set(s):
....return set([ i for i in s.split(',') if i ])

[I've used periods to indicate the indentation, as spaces seemed to get
lost last time]

I haven't done this, but it would be wise to also test on Python 2.3 where
the built in set/frozen set are not available, to cover the other branch of
the try/except.

Thanks,

Peter

Fixed in 1.2 branch. Only tested for Python 2.5.
