I am using Python 2.6.1 and I want to connect to MySQLdb, I installed mySQL in my system, and I am trying to connect MySQL-python-1.2.2.win32-py2.6 from http://www.codegood.com/archives/4 site but its not working
while running my application its saying that No module named MySQLdb
please any one provide me the proper setup for MySQLdb.
thanks in advance
The best setup for Windows that I've found:
http://www.codegood.com/downloads?dl_cat=2
EDIT: Removed original link (it's an ad farm now :( )
The module is not likely in your python search path..
Check to see if that module is in your Python Path... In windows...you may find it in the registry
HKLM\Software\Python\PythonCore\2.6\PythonPath
Be careful editing it...
You may also alter the Python Path programmaticly by the following
import sys
sys.path.append('somepath_to_the_module_you_wanted')
import the_module_you_wanted
Hope that helps
I was having this problem and then I realised I was importing MySQLdb erroneously - it's case sensitive:
Incorrect: >>>import mysqldb
Correct: >>>import MySQLdb
Silly mistake, but cost me a few hours!
generally, (good) python modules provide a 'setup.py' script that takes care of things like proper installation (google for 'distutils python'). MySQLdb is a "good" module in this sense.
since you're using windows, things might be a bit more complex. I assume you already installed MySQLdb following the instructions and it still gives this problem. what I would do is open a cmd.exe window, cd to the directory containing the 'setup.py' script and there type something like
C:\Python26\Python.exe setup.py install
if this does not work, then grab the module somewhere else, maybe at the place where it is actively developed: http://sourceforge.net/projects/mysql-python/
See this post on the mysql-python blog: MySQL-python-1.2.3 beta 2 released - dated March 2009. Looks like MySQLdb for Python 2.6 is still a work in progress...
I went for compiled binary , thats the best way to go on windows. There is a good source maintained by someone.
I wrote about it here before because some months down the lane I will forget how I solved this and be searching Stack again :/

I'm on day 1 of Python and trying to import SciPy into a project. I installed it via pip install on ElementaryOS (an Ubuntu derivative). I have verified it's existence via:
$ python
>>> help("modules")
The exact error I'm getting is:
Import "scipy" could not be resolved Pylance (reportMissingImports)
When searching for this error I found:
Import could not be resolved/could not be resolved from source Pylance in VS Code using Python 3.9.2 on Windows 10 Powershell -- the accepted answers all pointed towards a project specific .env file. I have no such project structure, nor does it make sense to me that one would be needed.
A github issue -- this issue ends with "it just fixed itself"
When I run my program, I get no errors in console. And looking up "Pylance" it appears to be a Microsoft product. I suspect that VSCode is failing to lint correctly. Potentially because pip installed something in a place it wasn't expecting. This is my guess, but any help would be very much appreciated.
Edit: Following through on the idea of missing paths, I found this post -- How do I get into the environment VS Code is using for pylance?
Having added the path to where my modules can be found has yielded no results, though I'm not sure if the formatting is correct. Perhaps it needs glob syntax (eg path/**/*)
The issue was indeed with Pylance. It was missing an "additional path" to where pip had installed the projects I wanted to import. To solve the issue:
First make sure you know the location of your import; you can find it with:
$ python
>>> import modulename
>>> print(modulename.__file__)
Then, once you know the location:
Open settings (ctrl + ,)
Search "pylance" or find it under "Extensions > Pylance"
Find the "Extra Paths" config item
Use "add item" to a add a path to the parent folder of the module. It will not do any recursive tree searching
And you should be good to go!
For a further example, you can see the image above where I had added the path /home/seph/.local/lib/python2.7/ to no avail. Updating it to /home/seph/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ did the trick.
I'm trying to install the Chilkat library for Python in order to use its encryption functionality, but being new to Python in every possible way, I'm getting stuck entirely too early. I've installed the library as instructed by the docs and verified that the files are in the "right place" (/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/) on my Ubuntu 12.04 server.
I've also downloaded the test script. When I try to run it, however:
ImportError: No module named chilkat
I know this is stupid basic, but here I am. In the docs they do mention a possible issue with sys.prefix. That (presumably default, since I've never touched it) value on my machine is /usr. I moved everything there, but still get the same error.
Help? Where is the most "pythonic" place to put these files and how can I get Python to recognize them universally?
Thanks.
For anyone searching, I just ended up adding site-packages to my sys.path by adding a .pth file to dist-packages which was already in my path.
echo "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages" > /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/site-packages.pth
I have been banging my head against the wall trying to get Exscript installed. After multiple failed attempts at doing it manually, I installed ActivePython and had success running "pypm install Exscript" from the cmd prompt.
I am now going through the Exscript documentation (found here https://github.com/knipknap/exscript/wiki/Python-API-Tutorial) and if I run the first example script I get an error:
>>> from Exscript.util.interact import read_login
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#6>", line 1, in <module>
from Exscript.util.interact import read_login
ImportError: No module named interact
So, I understand that this is saying that there is no module interact. How can I check this? Is there a way I can manually add this module? I would love to know WHY this module didnt come with the package, but that may be impossible to answer :)
Any and all help is greatly appreciated. Thank you
EDIT -
import Exscript.util works but if I try import Exscript.util.Interact I get the error. When I look in util.py I see an entry that says "from FooLib import Interact". I first thought it may just be a capitalization error (Exscript.util.interact vs util.Interact) but neither of those work. I am not sure where to go from here... :(
EDIT -
I have posted this question on the developers forums, hopefully he will have an answer for us. https://github.com/knipknap/exscript/issues/15
EDIT -
The developer suggested that I was using an old version and told me to download the latest. I had struggled installing the module manually so I googled how to easily install py modules. I found a writeup on easy_install.exe. I ran "c:\Python26>easy_install C:\Users\support\Desktop\lou\knipknap-exscript-v2.1-70-gf5583f3.tar.gz" from the cmd prompt, the module was installed (no errors) and now when i run the script it works.
Next challenge will be how to get these scripts to run as stand-alone exe's on users computers without Python installed :)
THANK YOU to everyone to commented I truely appreciate your help.
Lou
One common way packages are installed is as directories. So check your site-packages directory for an Exscript directory, and inside that there should be a util directory, and inside that there should be an interact.py file. Look for similar spellings in case the tutorial misspelled something.
I'm using simplejson to get data from the New York Time API. It works when I run the file through the terminal with the command "python test.py" but not when I run through TextMate using command + R. I'm running the exact same file. Why is this?
I am running Snow Leopard 10.6.4, TextMate 1.5.10, and Python 2.6.4.
Edit: Sorry for forgetting to include this: by "doesn't work," I mean it says "No module named simplejson". I also noticed that this happens for PyMongo as well ("No module named pymongo").
What doesn't work? You should provide more information like error messages and what-not. However, I assume that the version of python is different, and simplejson isn't on your PYTHONPATH when launched from textmate.
Just so you know, simplejson was incorporated into the Python 2.6 distribution's standard library as json. So if you don't feel like wrestling with the import problem, try simply changing all your references to simplejson to json instead.
But, as suggested, this is going to turn out to be a PythonPath issue. Run these lines in the Python interpreter and from TextMate and compare the results.
import sys
print sys.path
To find out where simplejson is installed (if you don't know), do this in the Python interpreter:
import simplejson
print simplejson.__file__
If you want/need to set PYTHONPATH manually for TextMate, you can do that by adding it under Preferences > Advanced > Shell Variables.
We've installed mercurial 1.4.1 and python 2.6.2 on a solaris 8 box. Now some hg commands work as expected, others fail.
I was able to initialize a repository (hg init) and add a file (hg add) but the committing (hg commit) leads to an error message:
abort: could not import module found!
I need a hint where to look - I'm not a python expert, is this missing found module part of the python distribution or does it belong to mercurial? Any idea how to fix it?
Edit
Thanks for your comments - hg debuginstall runs fine, just reports one problem - I didn't set a username in any of the config files. Can't believe that this causes the actual problems...
Edit
--traceback was a good hint!!
Here's the last line (can't copy&paste):
ImportError: ld.so.1: hg: fatal: relocation error:
file:/usr/local/lib/python2.6/lib-dynload/zlib.so:
symbol inflateCopy: referenced symbol not found
The zlib.so library is present was installed with either the python or mercurial package.
Looks like I'm not the only one: here's the same problem with python 2.5 on solaris 10
You need to install the zlib library for your system (libz.so).
Check your LD_LIBRARY_PATH settings.
If it is pulling libz from an odd place you will need to fix it so that it is pulling from /pkg/local/lib first
I was seeing this:
ldd /pkg/local/lib/python2.7/lib-dynload/zlib.so
libz.so => /import/wgs/lib/libz.so
But now its working for me.
