How can I use the PyMySQL module with Python 3.x?

I need to access a MySQL database from a Python 3 application, but MySQLdb isn't available for Python 3 yet. The PyMySQL module seems to work with Python 3, so how can I install it in my WebFaction home directory?

python3 pymysql mysql

You can install PyMySQL for Python 3.2 in your WebFaction home directory with the following commands:

mkdir -p ~/bin ~/tmp ~/lib/python3.2 ~/src
export TMPDIR=~/tmp
wget -O ~/bin/2to3 http://hg.python.org/cpython/raw-file/60c831305e73/Tools/scripts/2to3
chmod 700 ~/bin/2to3
cd ~/src
git clone https://github.com/petehunt/PyMySQL.git
cd PyMySQL/
./build-py3k.sh
cd py3k/
python3.2 setup.py install --install-lib=$HOME/lib/python3.2 --install-scripts=$HOME/bin
