Python mysql wrong architecture mac os 10.8.3?

Question

Python

Guys need help, python mysql won't start even though everything installed smoothly:
sudo ARCHFLAGS="-arch i386 -arch x86_64" python setup.py build
sudo ARCHFLAGS="-arch i386 -arch x86_64" python setup.py install
Installed OK
python:
import MySQLdb
/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/MySQL_python-1.2.3-py2.7-macosx-10.5-intel.egg/_mysql.py:3: UserWarning: Module _mysql was already imported from /Library/Python/2.7 /site-packages/MySQL_python-1.2.3-py2.7-macosx-10.5-intel.egg/_mysql.pyc, but /Users/root/Downloads/MySQL-python-1.2.3 is being added to sys.path

architecture

Answer 1

Try digging here

Answer 2

I would remove "-arch i386".
And how was it compiled from MySQL? What does "otool -fv <libmysqlclient*.dylib>" say? The client from mysql can be launched at all?
And why does the site-packages path say "macosx-10.5"? Is this some old way? Maybe just clean and reinstall?

Answer 3

According to the traceback, it is clear that you mysqlsomehow installed in ~/Downloadsand in the hidden ~/.python-eggs, and at the same time in a more predictable /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/. Try to remove these first folders here (maybe temporary).

Answer 4

Try installing mysql server from brew and then MySQLdb from pip
