Installing MySQdb for Python

[Sideshow]

I've used extratools.php to install Python 2.4 full, which works fine. Now i want to install the mySQLdb library for it. In extratools I've installed the mysql-python.cgi script, which, when run, should install the library. However, when I do run it, I get:

running build_ext
building '_mysql' extension

Powweb has turned off the compiler permissions - you'll need to compile it yourself - or maybe, if you're lucky, extras will compile a FreeBSD version for you

I updated the script so that it downloads and uses pre-compiled library instead of building on the fly.
Please update the script, and try again.

Now - THAT'S service!

But I didn't fully test that method, thinking fellow users can do that part and report problems if any. ;)
