mod_python + mysqldb for MAMP

[muffinresearch]

I managed to compile mod_python for use with the current version of MAMP but needless to say it was a complete and utter nightmare due to the lack of the inclusion of the necessary includes that are missing from the apache install.

If anyone need mod_python for MAMP then please grab it from here:

(Note: If the MAMP developers would like include this pre-compiled mod_python please do, or consider adding mod python to all future MAMP releases)

I am now trying to get mysqldb for python compiled for MAMP and again I am hitting a brick wall because the headers for Mysql are not present. I am trying to work around this but I am still currently having problems.

I am wondering if it would be possible to make a development version of MAMP available in the future so that people like myself will have all of the necessary files for creating new modules and additions?

Yes please to a development version of MAMP; or at the least a list of configure runes that were used to build the packages as part of the source distribution.

I *have* built MySQLdb successfully, but I had to rebuild MySQL from the MAMP sources in order to do so. And I'm not convinced I've got it 100% right just yet... having this wrapped up, even just in a text document that said how to do it (although a distribution with full dev files would be great) would be incredibly helpful, and make MAMP rock that little bit more

Having used MAMP Pro I know how easy it is to get a development arena running. However when you need ONE additional item (like I need mod_python) it is a nightmare.

It would be ever so wonderful to make it easier for those of us that need that one extra item to add it. Or even better include mod_python in the distro.
