Total Python newb here.
I'm following the tutorial from this page. But when I run my code I get the following error in the console.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/Users/tejenshrestha/Documents/ProjectAccess/access/trunk/analysis/src/json_xml/Database.py", line 37, in <module>
con = MySQLdb.connect(socket, dbhost, dbuser, dbpass, dbname);
File "/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/MySQLdb/__init__.py", line 81, in Connect
return Connection(*args, **kwargs)
File "/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/MySQLdb/connections.py", line 187, in __init__
super(Connection, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs2)
TypeError: an integer is required
Searching some solutions I found required that the unix_socket path to be include, which I did as you can see.
I'm also using XAMPP and the socket path I'm using is the one specified in XAMPP's my.cnf file. I have MySQL running and the port it is 3306.
Please help out this noob.
The Python code:
import MySQLdb
import sys
con = None
dbhost = "localhost"
port = "3306"
dbuser = "root"
dbpass = "password"
dbname = "name"
socket = "/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/var/mysql/mysql.sock"
try:
con = MySQLdb.connect(socket, dbhost, dbuser, dbpass, dbname);
cur = con.cursor()
cur.execute("SELECT VERSION()")
data = cur.fetchone()
print "Database version : %s " % data
except MySQLdb.Error, e:
print "Error %d: %s" % (e.args[0],e.args[1])
sys.exit(1)
finally:
if con:
con.close()
