However, I am running ver. 4.1 of MySQL and the problem is that the python client version does not support the new password protocol of MySQL 4.1+. This only means that one must go into the MySQL and set the password using the OLD_PASSWORD function of MySQL. The question, do any of the newer versions of MySQLdb support the new password protocol? And if not, are there plans to implement this? Disclosure: this is my first post in this group, also it may be worth noting that I'm learning python as a side effect of developing a Plone site. So if my python knowledge comes across as a bit warped... well, Plone can sometimes be a strange thing ;) Regards, Andy Koch ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
[Tutor] die or exit function?
Bkgd: I've been doing PHP for the last several years. Q: In PHP there are functions die and exit which terminate processing of a script with an optional string output. Is there something similar to this in Python? ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor

Hi Doug,
copied and pasted, thanks
although my reason for the die() was that I've started using Python to
do DB maintenance. I find it very handy (ie IDLE) and the DB api's for
all the different DB's I work with are nice and standardized (PHP could
learn a thing there). One thing that has happened, though, is that I've
clicked (via Winders Explorer) on a .py to open it for edit only to it
have run, which is not what I want when the code could start modifying
data. Thus far it hasn't caused any damage. So my safety check is to
do a raw_input from a commonly included module which does the sys.exit()
if running the code is not desired.
A basic safety catch.

[Tutor] UnicodeDecodeError in kinterbasdb
Hello, I've installed Python 25 on an XP machine, installed kinterbasdb (and eginix-mx-base). Python works fine. However, when I try to load the firebird module in IDLE I get ... Python 2.5 (r25:51908, Sep 19 2006, 09:52:17) [MSC v.1310 32 bit (Intel)] on win32 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import kinterbasdb Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in File "C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\kinterbasdb\__init__.py", line 98, in _instPath, 'bin' UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xff in position 237: ordinal not in range(128) .. From searching the web I'm led to think this is related to the default encodings on the machine. But I'm not sure what to do about this. For what it's worth, I have another machine and this same library works just fine. Thank You, Andy Koch ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
