Using MySQLdb 1.2.2 with python 2.6.1
Thursday, April 9th, 2009When importing MySQLdb 1.2.2 into python 2.6.1 an error is reported:
Python 2.6.1 (r261:67515, Dec 7 2008, 08:27:41)
[GCC 4.3.2] on linux2
Type “help”, “copyright”, “credits” or “license” for more information.
>>> import MySQLDB
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “<stdin>”, line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named MySQLDB
>>> import MySQLdb
/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/MySQLdb/__init__.py:34: DeprecationWarning: the sets module is deprecated
from sets import ImmutableSet
This is because the sets module is not built-in into the core distribution of python.
To get rid of this error and use the more efficient built-in set
type, do the following in the __init__.py file that was reported:
* comment line 34:

* comment line 34: from sets import ImmutableSet
* add after that line: ImmutableSet = frozenset
* comment line 41 in the original file: from sets import BaseSet
* add after that line: BaseSet = set
Like this the built-in types will be used anytime a BaseSet or an ImmutableSet is referenced.
Now everything works fine:
