Python 3.x.x and MySQLdb

[rty]

I installed Python 3.x.x on my Pogoplug and it works fine but when I tried to get it to work with MySQL by installing python-MySQL via pacman, I saw pacman also installing Python 2.7.x and I can't get "import MySQLdb" to work on Python 3.x.x.

Python 3.x.x. says "No such package named "mysqldb" when I typed in "Import mysqldb".

Does python-mysql work with Python 3.x.x?

You mean mysql-python ? That's for python2 only
You could install python-distribute and see if this installs
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'pip install mysql-python')
I doubt this will work though, looks like python2 only

Thanks pepedog. It doesn't look good.

Obviously I'm not going to try this myself
pip install configparser
You get the picture?

as per http://pypi.python.org/pypi/MySQL-python/1.2.4 python 3.x is not yet supported but will hopefully porting will be done in the coming weeks/months. Until then it's python 2.4-2.7 only.
