Hello,

I have an import problem after installation of MySQLdb:

I've seen similar threads for this problem on a windows os but unfortunately not mac.

The problem is as follows:

Python 2.4.4 (#1, Oct 18 2006, 10:34:39)

[GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 5341)] on darwin

Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

>>> import MySQLdb

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?

File #"/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/site-packages/MySQLdb/init.py", line #27, in ?

import _mysql

ImportError: Inappropriate file type for dynamic loading

I assume its trying to import the binary file _mysql.so in site_packages.

I know there is a similar error in windows where the actual mysql version becomes a problem.
The current version that i have is:
mysql +> mysql Ver 14.12 Distrib 5.0.37, for apple-darwin8.6.0 (powerpc) using readline 5.0
MySQLdb +> revision = """$Revision: 1.37 $"""[11:-2]
