Connecting to MySQL with Python 2.6...how? -

All my searches, including the stack, point me to MySQLdb Unfortunately, MySQLdb does not have any version for Python 2.6 .

What do I have to do?

Have you tried to compile it for Python 2.6? APIs vary greatly in minor releases, so this is likely to be just work (TM).

EDIT: According to, it works and the poster mentions that Windows Binaries have been posted.
