It's designed to work with 3.21 according to the README, so newer versions
might not work.

Zope is apparently going to be switching to MySQLdb, due to problems with
thread blocking in MySQLmodule. The current version of MySQLdb has a patch
to change Zope's ZMySQLDA to use MySQLdb (actually it's underlying _mysql
module). It is not quite right yet. If you change error to Error in one
spot, it works a little. I've fallen behind on the Zope list a bit lately,
so I'm not sure what the status of things are.
