Hi
Me again, I think this is best place to ask, but if not, feel free to move to a more relevant forum...
I'm still trying the flask, seeing as its the server. I found a you tube video that explains a bit more than the response on the other thread, but then the second part uses mysql.
Now I have installed and ran mysql (it appears to be working) on my laptop.
But when I try to install the Flask-mysqldb / client / mysql, it always errors on the install and doesnt work.
I dont know if its because I iinstalled python to the c:\python instead of a default program files path, or if the installation is missing something else that is required (perhaps a variable in windows?). It is the second time I have had a problem trying to install an extra to the python core. Its frustrating.
Is there anything I can do? any checks or manually copy files to certain folders?
In the mean time I am going to experiment / practice using an import file and opening a text file until I can get the db connection working.
Thanks in advance
Vince
