[Zope] Ape & MySQL: Error adding ZODB MountPoint

Hi Shane,

thanks for your answer ...

I tried: connect(db='ape' , user=myUser) and it worked (means the user was
detected) but I didn't find a way to specify the password yet. password,
pword or pw were not accepted as params. I'll try to find in the Python
DB-API.

Ok, at least I know where to start ...

I'm using windows so it'll be different, but I'll try to connect via the
mysql_python api.
