Python & mySQL

[Wayne Izatt]

It really all depends on what your ISP is prepared to do for you. As long as
your ISP installs the MySQLda module, you should be off to the races. What
you have on your machine won't really be a factor, although for testing
you'll probably want to install MySQL and MySQLda. I believe the module is
available as a dll, so you won't need to recompile Python.

There are ample resources available to get you going from a programming
perspective. I can probably dredge up some samples.

cheers
