2011-01-30 16:22:55 +0200	answered a question	Using mysql in conjuntion with Sage? I downloaded http://sourceforge.net/projects/mysql... and extracted the file. I then pasted the MySQL folder inside of my Sage folder. Then in Sage I typed "*sudo sage setup.py install*", but it didn't work. The terminal gave me the output below. This shows that MySQL-python-1.2.3 is now located in my Sage folder. `johndoe@johndoe:~/Sage$ ls Chapter3_2.py chapter5_1.py devel ipython MySQL-python-1.2.3 sage-README-osx.txt VERSION.txt Chapter3.py COPYING.txt examples local README.txt spkg chapter4_1.py data Hello.py Makefile sage sudoku? johndoe@johndoe:~/Sage$` Then I started Sage and entered "sudo sage setup.py install". The output from this is below. `johndoe@johndoe:~/Sage$ sudo sage setup.py install sudo: sage: command not found johndoe@johndoe:~/Sage$` What am I doing wrong? Thanks, William
2011-01-30 01:30:41 +0200	asked a question	Using mysql in conjuntion with Sage? Hello, I'm using Ubuntu (new to it), and am really excited about Sage. I can't afford Matlab. I would like to interface Sage/Python with MySql. I've already installed MySql according to this link. I tried the command import MySQLdb, but it didn't work. The output from my terminal is pasted below. johndoe@johndoe:~$ python Python 2.6.6 (r266:84292, Sep 15 2010, 15:52:39) [GCC 4.4.5] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. import MySQLdb Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> ImportError: No module named MySQLdb quit Use quit() or Ctrl-D (i.e. EOF) to exit quit() johndoe@johndoe:~$ cd ~/Sage johndoe@johndoe:~/Sage$ ./sage ---------------------------------------------------------------------- \| Sage Version 4.6.1, Release Date: 2011-01-11 \| \| Type notebook() for the GUI, and license() for information. \| ---------------------------------------------------------------------- sage: import MySQLdb --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ImportError Traceback (most recent call last) /home/johndoe/Sage/<ipython console=""> in <module>() ImportError: No module named MySQLdb sage: sage: I believe I have the same problem as discussed here However, I'm so new to Ubuntu, that I don't quite follow.
