_mysql.py?

[Skip Montanaro]

I installed MySQLdb 1.2.2 on a Solaris 10 system today. When I tried importing
MySQLdb I got a warning message:

/home/titan/skipm/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages/MySQL_python-1.2.2-py2.4-solaris-2.10-i86pc.egg/_mysql.py:3: UserWarning: Module _mysql was already imported from /home/titan/skipm/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages/MySQL_python-1.2.2-py2.4-solaris-2.10-i86pc.egg/_mysql.pyc, but /home/tuba/skipm/src/MySQL-python-1.2.2 is being added to sys.path

Looking in the egg it installed I see _mysql.py[c] files:

% unzip -t /home/titan/skipm/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages/MySQL_python-1.2.2-py2.4-solaris-2.10-i86pc.egg Archive:  /home/titan/skipm/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages/MySQL_python-1.2.2-py2.4-solaris-2.10-i86pc.egg

testing: _mysql.pyc               OK
testing: MySQLdb/__init__.py      OK
testing: MySQLdb/converters.py    OK
testing: MySQLdb/connections.py   OK
...

There is no _mysql.py file in the distribution. Where is that coming
from? Is it possible to install MySQLdb without a zip archive?

Thanks,

I don't know how you ended up with _mysql.py and _mysql.pyc . There should only be the _mysql.so (native code) library, thus your conflict. How did you build this?
