Heh, that's a good one.

Okay, my DB API v2.0-compatible interface for MySQL-3.22 and Python-1.5.2
is available at:

This by itself will not let Zope use it. You also need ZMySQLDA, which you
should find somewhere on www.zope.org. BUT, you also need to apply the
patch for ZMySQLDA which is in the MySQLdb distribution; otherwise
ZMySQLDA uses an older MySQL interface (MySQLmodule-1.4) which is designed
for MySQL-3.21.

Note: There may be yet another bug in my ZMySQLDA patch, or it may be in
_mysql; I haven't decided which it is yet, but it has to do with the
column types which are returned in some situations (NOT NULL columns).
