Newbie: How to connect to MySQL?

[Eduardo Cancino]

Hi everybody!

I downloaded the mysql-python from sourceforge, and I tried to install 
it on my Mac0S 10.2.1
but even i have the Developer tools the:

python setup.py build
python setup.py install

commands doesn't find my compiler.

I looked in www.python.org, some of this but didn't find it.

Where I cand find a installing tutorial or something i can get to start 
programming python with databases?

Is there a db module like dbi in perl?
And the cgi module works as the perl one?


Thanks.
