在安装mysql-python的时候遇到这么个问题：
[root@centos01 MySQL-python-1.2.4b4]# python setup.py build
running build
running build_py
copying MySQLdb/release.py -> build/lib.linux-i686-2.4/MySQLdb
running build_ext

_mysql.c: In function ‘_mysql_ConnectionObject_Initialize’:
_mysql.c:602: error: expected expression before ‘)’ token
error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1
这里的源码有点问题， 找到 _mysql.c 602行附近，找到下边的代码：
if (!PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords(args, kwargs,
#ifdef HAVE_MYSQL_OPT_READ_TIMEOUT
"|ssssisOiiisssiOii:connect",
#else
"|ssssisOiiisssiOi:connect",
#endif
kwlist,
&host, &user, &passwd, &db,
&port, &unix_socket, &conv,
&connect_timeout,
&compress, &named_pipe,
&init_command, &read_default_file,
&read_default_group,
&client_flag, &ssl,
&local_infile,
#ifdef HAVE_MYSQL_OPT_READ_TIMEOUT
&read_timeout
#endif
))
return -1;
改为
if (!PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords(args, kwargs,
#ifdef HAVE_MYSQL_OPT_READ_TIMEOUT
"|ssssisOiiisssiOii:connect",
#else
"|ssssisOiiisssiOi:connect",
#endif
kwlist,
&host, &user, &passwd, &db,
&port, &unix_socket, &conv,
&connect_timeout,
&compress, &named_pipe,
&init_command, &read_default_file,
&read_default_group,
&client_flag, &ssl,
&local_infile
#ifdef HAVE_MYSQL_OPT_READ_TIMEOUT
, &read_timeout
#endif
))
return -1;
再重新执行 python setup.py build 就OK了
