Re: mysql MySQL-python and libmysqlclient.so.16 hell

More news

I can't run import MySQLdb

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "build/bdist.linux-x86_64/egg/MySQLdb/__init__.py", line 19, in
<module>
File "build/bdist.linux-x86_64/egg/_mysql.py", line 7, in <module>
File "build/bdist.linux-x86_64/egg/_mysql.py", line 6, in
__bootstrap__
ImportError: libmysqlclient.so.16: cannot open shared object file: No
such file or directory

I can't install python-mysql from aptitude or apt-get as it will
install mysql-common, which will seriously fuck with my mysql install,
as I found out a little earlier :-)
