Comments on: Install MySQL for Python (MySQLdb) on Windows http://fuyun.org/2009/12/install-mysql-for-python-on-windows/ a system engineer's blog Fri, 25 Nov 2011 13:20:03 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3 By: Harry http://fuyun.org/2009/12/install-mysql-for-python-on-windows/comment-page-3/#comment-151 Harry Thu, 14 Apr 2011 12:13:46 +0000 http://www.fuyun.org/?p=231#comment-151 After two days trying to get this working I found the following steps seemed to work for me - read these in conjunction with the packaged README. For Windows: - download and install the following: 1. Python 2.7 http://www.python.org/ 2. Setuptools http://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools 3. MinGW http://www.mingw.org/category/wiki/download 4. Mysql 5.1 http://www.mysql.com/downloads/ - Don't worry about Zlib - Don't worry about OpenSSL - comment out these lines in setup_windows.py # XXX static doesn't actually do anything on Windows #if enabled(options, 'embedded'): # client = "mysqld" #else: # client = "mysqlclient" - Add this line below the commented lines (this instructs the compiler to use the dynamic version of the mysql libraries - static will only work using the same compiler as mysql was compiled with. client = "libmysql" - Add the following to the PATH environment variable C:\MinGW\bin; - Change this line in site.cfg to the following registry_key = SOFTWARE\MySQL AB\MySQL Server 5.1 - Run this command python setup.py build --compile=mingw32 - Then Run this command python setup.py install After two days trying to get this working I found the following steps seemed to work for me – read these in conjunction with the packaged README.

For Windows:
- download and install the following:
1. Python 2.7 http://www.python.org/
2. Setuptools http://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools
3. MinGW http://www.mingw.org/category/wiki/download
4. Mysql 5.1 http://www.mysql.com/downloads/

- Don’t worry about Zlib
- Don’t worry about OpenSSL

- comment out these lines in setup_windows.py
# XXX static doesn’t actually do anything on Windows
#if enabled(options, ‘embedded’):
# client = “mysqld”
#else:
# client = “mysqlclient”

- Add this line below the commented lines (this instructs the compiler to use the dynamic version of the mysql libraries – static will only work using the same compiler as mysql was compiled with.
client = “libmysql”

- Add the following to the PATH environment variable
C:\MinGW\bin;

- Change this line in site.cfg to the following
registry_key = SOFTWARE\MySQL AB\MySQL Server 5.1

- Run this command
python setup.py build –compile=mingw32

- Then Run this command
python setup.py install
