( this is mainly a post about working with supercollider packages. if you just want to know how to set up a local svn repository then I'll cut to the chase: svn import ~/Documents/SC3docs/felix-imported file:///Users/crucial/svn/sc/trunk/felix -m "initial felix import" then check out a working copy: ...

There is one in django.core.exceptions and one in django.forms.util Using that space age IDE Eclipse I have to say I'm enjoying how much time I've saved just going shift-command-O to organize and resolve all of my imports.  But today I've just lost a few hours due to my ok-ing the wrong class.

MySQLdb is the python support bindings for MySQL.  Not that the name would lead you to beleive that. Its sourceforge page calls it http://sourceforge.net/projects/mysql-python/ which makes more sense. you need setuptools, which you usually already have:     sudo aptitude install python-setuptools You need MySQL-devel to compile, but its not called that, its called: libmysql++-dev on Ubuntu     sudo apt-get install libmysql++-dev download MySQLdb itself from:     http://sourceforge.net/projects/mysql-python/     # the version you download will be more recent     tar xfz ...
