Download the MySQLdb for Windows build from my homepage (see sig). There are
examples included. MySQLdb is just one implementation of the Python DB-API.

There is a short tutorial for the DB-API on the Python website. Go to
www.python.org, then documentation, then topic guides, then Databases. This
does assume, however, that you have a basic idea of how SQL works.

If you can't make much sense of it (i. e. if you are a Python beginner *and* a
SQL beginner), you can post here or subscribe to the DB-SIG's mailing list or
ask me in PM (remove the 'nospam') before.
