MySQLdb Module Question

[Robert Meegan]

Wayne -

According to the MySQLdb documentation, all parameters *must* be 
supplied as keyword arguments.

For example:

	host = 'localhost'
	user = 'wayne'
	password = 'secret'
	db = 'mydb'

	MySQLdb.connect(host = host, user = user, passwd = passwd, db = db)
