I’m using Django and Python 2.6, and I want to grow my application using a MySQL backend. Problem is that there isn’t a win32 package for MySQLdb on Python 2.6.

Now I’m no hacker, but I thought I might compile it myself using MSVC++9 Express. But I run into a problem that the compiler quickly can’t find config_win.h, which I assume is a header file for MySQL so that the MySQLdb package can know what calls it can make into MySQL.

Am I right? And if so, where do I get the header files for MySQL?

  1. I think that the header files are shipped with MySQL, just make sure you check the appropriate options when installing (I think that sources and headers are under ‘developer components’ in the installation dialog).
