Like most other Mac/MySQL users with current versions of OS X, I went through the normal issues of getting Python, MySQL and MySQLdb (MySQL-Python) playing nicely together. That has been working for some time, but I’d like to use Aptana for debugging my work Django projects and when I try running either the debugger or running a project, I’m getting the dreaded “mach-o” error.
The interesting thing is that I’ve configured Aptana to use the same python I’m using (confirmed with a “which python” both within and outside of Aptana), and I’ve confirmed that the python that’s being invoked by Aptana is 32-bit as it should be (same as system terminal reports). Also, when I use the Terminal in Aptana, using the interactive python shell I’m able to successfully ‘import MySQLdb’. So I’m stumped.
Under arguments I’m adding this to program arguments per instructions:
runserver 8081 –noreload
But that shouldn’t affect anything AFAIK. I’m at a loss of what to do next. Here is the error that Aptana is throwing when I try to launch:
pydev debugger: starting

Any ideas?
Take a look at: How do I force Python to be 32-bit on Snow Leopard and other 32-bit/64-bit questions on ways to configure Python to run in 32 bits (VERSIONER_PYTHON_PREFER_32_BIT environment variable seems a good choice).
