Hello and thanks for the reply.

	I gave that a try, started everything from scratch, with only my 
directories under /sw/include/mysql and /sw/lib/mysql specified in my 
include_dirs and library_dirs variables in setup.py.

	I still get the following when trying to connect:

   File "/sw/lib/python2.2/site-packages/MySQLdb/__init__.py", line 63, 
in Connect
     return apply(Connection, args, kwargs)
   File "/sw/lib/python2.2/site-packages/MySQLdb/connections.py", line 
116, in __init__
     self.converter[types.StringType] = self.string_literal
TypeError: object does not support item assignment

	Any further suggestions?

Thanks,

Petre
