Re: MySQL, Python and MacOS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard)

This solution was the winner. After nearly three days of trying to get this combination working the solution provided above seems to work...with a small catch.

Once you run the build command you are going to get an error complaining about the mysql_config file. You need to edit the setup_posix.py file. Change line 26 from:
mysql_config.path = "mysql_config"

to:
mysql_config.path = "/usr/local/mysql-5.1.39-osx10.5-x86_64/bin/mysql_config"

Now try the /user/bin/python setup.py build command again. It should build this time. Now you can follow the rest of the steps.
