NEW: MySQL-python-0.9.2

MySQL-python-0.9.2

this portfile can be found here: ​http://wilcoxd.com/OSS/darwinports/mysql-python.tgz

Description: This Python module allows you to interface with MySQL databases. Required a patch to get the setup.py script pointing the the standard /opt/local/ DP install place.

Homepage: ​http://sourceforge.net/projects/mysql-python

Comments: The patch for setup.py hardcodes the /opt/local path. Perhaps this needs to be looked into (or perhaps not) - but I don't know a way of dynamically placing the DP install path in there.

the portfile +patch for setup.py

[pguyot (Paul Guyot)]

I don't know a way of dynamically placing the DP install path in there.

The trick is to use reinplace to avoid hard-coding the prefix. I just did that on ocaml port, but you'll find it in many other ports.

[ryanwilcox@…]

Inline you'll find a patch for the portfile, to take advantage of additional modifications to the setup.py.

You'll also find another attachement that contains another patch for setup.py - this one allowing you to specify the prefix/includedir/libdir in the arguments intead of hardcoding it.

Version 2 of the patch for setup.py

[pguyot (Paul Guyot)]

Actually, everything went to: /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3/lib/python2.3/

During the destroot phase, which is not what we want, while the current version puts things in ${destroot}${prefix} on my box.

[ryanwilcox@…]

I'm happy with the port as checked into CVS. At some point in the (very unknown) future I may take another run at getting version 2 of this port working, but am closing the bug for now.
