Good news and bad news, Zope smokers: I dug into ZMySQLDA to see how it
works and to test it. The bad news is: My patch still wasn't quite right.
The good news is: I think it actually works now. I've updated the tarball
but left the version number alone. So, if you got it before 1 a.m. EST
(0500 UTC), you probably have the old version.

The funny thing is: The patched ZMySQLDA doesn't use MySQLdb at all; just
_mysqlmodule. It was much easier this way, trust me on this, or read the
patch. Make sure that you install MySQLdb and _mysql on your PYTHONPATH,
install ZMySQLDA, patch it, and restart Zope. Let me know how it turns
out.
