python/py-mysql

[Suresh Pillai]

I am running

Macports 1.6
OS X 10.5
xcode 3.0
xquartz 2.1.3

python24 installs fine but gives me bus errors for the simplest of things 
like printing a list.  Someone else mentioned this too back in Nov but I 
didnt see any responses to the thread.  Also py-mysql won't compile (log 
not show since python itself is unstable).

So I tried python25/py25-mysql and python25 won't even compile.

I am new to OSX and Macports, but if I can't get python working ...

Okay, so I thought I'd stick with the system python and downloaded the 
source for python-mysql from sourceforge.  I got errors installing that 
too, although the errors were related to the macports install of mysql5:

Anyone got py-mysql/mysql-python working using the base Apple python? 
Otherwise I am reverting to linux.

Thanks,
