I'm trying to setup MySQLdb to use with python for Scrapy. I'm using the following steps:
Install PIP:
sudo easy_install pip
Edit ~/.profile:
nano ~/.profile
Copy and paste the following two line
export PATH=/usr/local/mysql/bin:$PATH
export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/mysql/lib/
Save and exit. Afterwords execute the following command
source ~/.profile
Install MySQLdb
sudo pip install MySQL-python
Once I do the last step I get the following error:
usf-gold-wifi-226-5-42:documents soufin_r$ sudo pip install MySQL-python
