I have a question related to the MySQLdb, I have recently installed the 1.2.0 version and it works fine. However, I am running ver. 4.1 of MySQL and the problem is that the python client version does not support the new password protocol of MySQL 4.1+. This only means that one must go into the MySQL and set the password using the OLD_PASSWORD function of MySQL. The question, do any of the newer versions of MySQLdb support the new password protocol? And if not, are there plans to implement this? Disclosure: this is my first post in this group, also it may be worth noting that I'm learning python as a side effect of developing a Plone site. So if my python knowledge comes across as a bit warped... well, Plone can sometimes be a strange thing ;) Regards, Andy Koch _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
