Trying to run manage that requires MySQLdb Follow

Hello Sergey,

Please see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/135688/setting-environment-variables-in-os-x

for information on configuring environment variables on MacOS X.

Background information:

1. I am new to UNIX, Python/Django and PyCharm (which I downloaded as

evaluation).

2. As many other falks I exoeriences a great pain in trying to install

MySQLdb (Python <-> MYSQL) under Mac OS X. But I managed to make it

work.

3. The key for #2 above turned out to be (at least in my case since it

seems that almost each and every person experience different problems

with MySQLdb on Macs) the loading of libmysqlclient.16.dylib - a

dynamic lib required for MySQLdb to work.

4. To take care of #3 above I do (using terminal): export

DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/mysql/lib/ After that MySQLdb like a

charm on Mac OS X

The question I have - how do I expose /usr/local/mysql/lib/ to PyCharm

environment? I tried to use Run->Edit Configurations dialog box where

there is a place to specify environmental variables. But so far I

failed. As a result it's really inconvenient to work with MYSQL from

within PyCharm. Any suggestions?

See below a stack trace (PyCharm) when I try to run something that

requires MySQLdb

Best regards,

Serge
