MySQL-python (Python interface to MySQL) MySQLdb is an interface to the popular MySQL database server for Python. The design goals are: * Compliance with Python database API version 2.0 [PEP-0249] * Thread-safety * Thread-friendliness (threads will not block each other) MySQL-3.23 through 5.0 and Python-2.3 through 2.5 are currently supported. This requires the Python setuptools (pysetuptools on SlackBuilds.org).
