Hi.

I am wondering if anyone has any experience with this...

O/S = Fedora Core 11

[dennis@denniswork site-packages]$ python
Python 2.6 (r26:66714, Jun 8 2009, 16:07:26)
[GCC 4.4.0 20090506 (Red Hat 4.4.0-4)] on linux2

>>> import MySQLdb
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "MySQLdb/init.py", line 19, in <module>
import _mysql
File "_mysql.py", line 9, in <module>
bootstrap()
File "_mysql.py", line 8, in bootstrap
imp.load_dynamic(name,file)
ImportError: ./_mysql.pyd: invalid ELF header

  Um, isn't .pyd a Windows dynamic module? Why do you have a _mysql.py? You should have _mysql.so on POSIX platforms.

    Well, there you go then.
    
    Despite my embarrassment, I am glad I asked that question. Downloaded the correct tar.gz and all installed correctly. And I am a little wiser.
    
    Thanks for the quick response.
