Hi everyone Noob here. Sorry. First of all, I am looking forward to getting my teeth into scripting with Python and MySQL. I have my first simple script running, so all good there.   However... I have looked at a lot of forum posts. Many seem to ask the same question, but none seem to provide any firm advice.   Before anyone points me towards: http://www.heliohost.org/home/features/languages/python, can someone give me a Big Picture overview of Python, Django and why I can't import mySQLdb into my scripts?   First of all, I thought my script was buggy, but even this doesn't work: #!/usr/bin/python import MySQLdb   ...and I get a 500 error.   The link above seems to give a series of instructions (for which I am very grateful), but these are very bottom-up.  I am looking to make connections to make sense.     Once I get my first mySQLdb script running, I'll be flying (I hope).   Fingers crossed spangle   (Darren)
