Can you not build _mysql.so on your web server? Just download and expand the source tarball, cd into the top level directory and execute "python setup.py install".

Your hosting provider supports MySQL and Python but won't make MySQLdb available so you can use one from the other? Your provider should be able to execute something like "yum install MySQL-python". Takes all of about 30 seconds. If they won't do that for you, find another hosting service. (I'd be happy to send you the necessary prebuilt stuff, but I only have Python 2.3 and 2.5, not 2.4, on my Linux server.)

Yeah that is the story. If this doesn't work, i will find me another host.
I tried a prebuilt (with mysql 5) version and the server called the file just fine. Of course it generated an error when calling the mysql library files. This leads me to believe it will work with correct mysql version.
Hope someone else has the file and is willing to share.

It is not my webserver, it is needed on a hosting provider.
I am win2k, he is Linux.
Of course, i cannot do thing like that on my web directory.
