[PATCH] Python bindings: Relax mysql Python binding version

Reported by: Lawrence Rust <lvr@…> Owned by: Lawrence Rust
Priority: minor Milestone: unknown
Component: Bindings - Python Version: Master Head
Severity: medium Keywords: mysql 1.2.3
Cc: Ticket locked: no

Description

Commit 02162459d68a added a check for version 1.2.3 or later of the mysql Python binding. Unfortunately, this version only ships with Ubuntu 11.10 and later preventing all but the very latest Ubuntu systems from using any MythTV Python app.

Ubuntu 10.04 LTS ships with version 1.2.2 of the mysql binding and from basic testing this appears to work OK.

This patch relaxes the mysql Python binding version to 1.2,2 or later.

I know at the time I put that in there, I had good reason for it. There were problems trying to use MySQLdb 1.2.2 with Python 2.7, which was also a big part of the why I added oursql support, and something that wasn't fixed until 1.2.3. Searching around, I'm coming up blank with what those problems were, and a brief test with it now, it appears to work. I'll need to dig through IRC logs to try to remember why I did that before committing this.

The oldest Ubuntu LTS version is now 12.04, which ships with python-mysqldb version 1.2.3, so this patch is "past its sell-by date".
