I’ve built a large program that runs queries on MySQL dbs via python 3.X

  • 0

I’ve built a large program that runs queries on MySQL dbs via python 3.X scripts. I developed it while working on a 32-bit system, but now am trying to run it on my new 64-bit machine. Thus far I have been unable to find a clear answer on whether or not a module exists for Python 3.X that works for MySQL in a 64bit environment. When I try to import my module that works fine in 32 bit Windows I get this error:

“ImportError: DLL load failed: %1 is not a valid Win32 application.” .

I’ve inspected the module source and considered changing it up. But before I do that I want to be sure there isn’t already a module available.

In a nutshell my questions are:

  1. Is there any pre-built module for linking MySQL/Python in 64bit available for 3.X

  2. If not…. Are there any ideas for other workarounds that would allow me to do this short of rewriting the MySQLdb existing module?
