Upgrade MySQL python to prevent install error #37

Closed polotek closed 4 years ago

polotek commented 9 years ago

I did a clean clone and tried to run pip install -r requirements.txt. I got an error associated with trying to install MySQL-python.

...
RuntimeError: maximum recursion depth exceeded
...
IOError: Could not build the egg.

After searching around, I saw a recommendation to update to the latest release, 1.2.5. That worked like a charm. But I'm not sure if that's the extent of the issue, so I figure I'd open a ticket and let you handle it.

The app starts up properly with this change. I haven't been able to get the test suite to run successfully. But I suspect that's a different problem.
