virtualenv pip mysqldb mac os X python

Jeg havde et lignende problem, se min sporing:

>>> import MySQLdb
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/Library/Python/2.6/site-packages/MySQLdb/__init__.py", line 19, in <module>
    import _mysql
ImportError: dlopen(/Library/Python/2.6/site-packages/_mysql.so, 2): Library not loaded: libmysqlclient.16.dylib
  Referenced from: /Library/Python/2.6/site-packages/_mysql.so
  Reason: image not found

Det, jeg gjorde, var at sætte disse variabler i min .bash_profile :

export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/local/mysql/lib/:$DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH"

Og da jeg kørte en Python CGI-applikation med Apache, indstillede jeg den samme variabel med SetEnv-direktivet:

<Directory "/path/to/app">
    SetEnv DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH /usr/local/mysql/lib/:$DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH
    ...
</Directory>

Og alt fungerer nu.
