:
: MySQLdb is an interface to the popular MySQL database server for
: Python. The design goals are:

: - Thread-safety
: - Thread-friendliness (threads will not block each other)
: - Compatibility with MySQL 3.23 and up
:
: This module should be mostly compatible with an older interface
: written by Joe Skinner and others. However, the older version is
: a) not thread-friendly, b) written for MySQL 3.21, c) apparently
: not actively maintained. No code from that version is used in
: MySQLdb.
