Mac ports Mysql install

I completed my install on Leopard with Mac Ports. I also installed Mysqld via Mac Ports for use with python. I set the password for mysql on mysql start. Everything seemed to be fine except when I invoke mysql-start from the command line now I get this: mysql-start *****Password: Starting MySQL . SUCCESS! demetrius-fords-macbook-pro-17:~ demet8$

I also get a system que stating:Do you want mysqld to accepting incoming notifications.....

So I kinda think I am activating mysqld, not the actual mysql command interpreter. I can use开发者_开发知识库 mysql-stop with no problem to shut the server down. Lastly in the Python interpreter when I run: import MySQLdb I get this:

/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/site-packages/MySQLdb/__init__.py:34: DeprecationWarning: the sets module is deprecated from sets import ImmutableSet

I don't think this affects mysqld @ all. I don't have the mysql default socket in my path via bash_login. Do I need to do that? thank you....

The command for the client is normally mysql (see MySql docs) However in macports they have appended the major version number so try mysql5

The python error is only a depreciation so can be ignored
