Hi Gerhard,
thanks for the quick reply, but I did NOT D'L the source distribution,
but the binary for Windows.
Then I ran Setup,
did the c:\mysql\bin mysql-nt --install
then started the service,
then got MySQL Studio and created a database & a table.
I definitely have not compiled anything.

Should I have a _mysql library or _mysql.py file somewhere?
