Today we’re releasing MySQL Connector/Python 0.1.0-devel. This is the first in a serie of development snapshots aimed to get more people trying it out and reporting problems. This is not a production-ready release, but it should work on all Unices and Windows which has Python 2.4 or later installed. (No, no Py3K, yet!)
You can download it from Launchpad: there is a .tar.gz and .zip
There will be documentation and tutorial, but installation is as easy as pie (pun intended):
$ tar xzf mysql-connector-python-0.1.0-devel.tar.gz
$ cd mysql-connector-python-0.1.0-devel
$ python ./setup.py install
If you want to run the unittests, you’ll need a MySQL server running locally.
