"Pure Python" MySQL module like Net::MySQL

[Ravi]

Hi,

I did some googling, and found that there doesn't seem to be a pure 
python MySQL communication module. There is one for perl however, 
Net::MySQL. I was wondering if there was a specific reason why something 
similar hasn't been implemented in Python, a limitation of the language 
or libraries perhaps? I briefly scanned through the perl source for 
Net::MySQL, and there doesn't seem to be anything that couldn't be done 
in Python, but I'm a fresh convert from perl land and I don't much 
beyond the basics of Python yet.

Thanks,
Ravi
