The install instructions are:

$ python setup.py build $ sudo python setup.py install # or su first 

This gives me an .egg file. How do I tell the install to dump the files as a normal, uncompressed library?

Thanks!

    OK, I hate to answer my own question, but:

    find your python site-packages (mine is /usr/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages )

    then:

    $ unzip MySQL_python-1.2.2-py2.5-linux-i686.egg 

    This worked fine for me
