Hello !
I’have compiled mod_python 3.3.1 from Apache 2.0.59 for Mac Intel.
Like Stuart, I had to compile Apache myself, the version in MAMP 1.7.1 is buggy.
Here is my mod_python.so module already compiled for Intel.

Hey Stuart,

Thanks for this, it helped me get up and running. As Greg Turner notes, above, downloading the full version of the latest MAMP meant that I didn’t have to compile Apache myself.

regarding comments 5 and 6 by @FOAD and Stuart, which file do I need to edit to and what do I need to put there to to get mod_python recognized by MAMP? I’m running MAMP 5.2.3 under Leopard on 10.5.2 on a Quad G5.

Thanks to Stuart for his initial guidance and thanks to the commenters for adding additional info!

With your collective help I got mod_python running on my MAMP installation in no time…

On osx leopard python is installed by default and installing it like you suggested will mess up the right paths. You could modify your article to say so.

If you allready messed up your paths then you can change your paths or uninstall installed package by removing it from:

/Applications/yourpythondir
/Library/frameworks/pythonframework
/Developer/documentation/python/link to yourdocs

and clearing a path from your ~/.basc_profile

then you can use your compiled mod_python with mamp with no problems. default installation is in /usr/bin/

leopard also comes with svn preloaded if you need to use trac then all you need to do is write to terminal ‘easy_install Trac’ and it downloads all dependencies aso

Stuart, can you say a bit more about using compiling/installing mysqldb? I’m having trouble getting my python scripts to connect to MySQL.

Thanks for the great post!

Thanks for the info, Stuart - this saved my sanity trying to get Django running under my MAMP Pro the
other day.

Having had a chance to go through the process again, I realised that you can download MAMP including all
the build libraries from the usual place - just pick the appropriate "Full" version under
‘Additional Downloads’.

This avoids the need for making a MAMP.new, or recompiling Apache, though your instructions will still be
useful for those who don’t want to reinstall MAMP because they have many sites already.

Hope this helps! I am in the process of writing up my own process, and will comment again when it’s
online.

Greg.
