Decompress the package and run Python setup. py build.

SH: mysql_config: Command not found
Traceback (most recent call last ):
File "setup. py", line 18, in <module>
Metadata, Options = get_config ()
File "/users/dongquan/downloads/MySQL-python-1.2.4b4/setup_posix.py", line 43, in get_config
Libs = mysql_config ("libs_r ")
File "/users/dongquan/downloads/MySQL-python-1.2.4b4/setup_posix.py", line 25, in mysql_config
Raise environmenterror ("% s not found" % (mysql_config.path ,))
Environmenterror: mysql_config not found

The solution is to modify site. cfg,

Add mysql_config =/usr/local/MySQL/bin/mysql_config near 12 rows.

Used to specify the installation location of MySQL

Continue to execute Python setup. py build,

Then install sudo Python setup. py install. The installation is complete.

Importerror: dlopen (/library/Python/2.7/Site-packages/MySQL_python-1.2.4b4-py2.7-macosx-10.8-intel.egg/_ mysql. So, 2): library not loaded: libmysqlclient.18.dylib
Referenced from:/library/Python/2.7/Site-packages/MySQL_python-1.2.4b4-py2.7-macosx-10.8-intel.egg/_ mysql. So

Solution: create a "shortcut" for libmysqlclient.18.dylib"
Sudo ln-S/usr/local/MySQL/lib/libmysqlclient.18.dylib/usr/lib/
