Performance Issues of MySQL with Python

[sandy]

Hi All,

I am a newbie to MySQL and Python. At the first place, I would like to
know what are the general performance issues (if any) of using MySQL
with Python.

By performance, I wanted to know how will the speed be, what is the
memory overhead involved, etc during database specific operations
(retrieval, update, insert, etc) when MySQL is used with Python.

Any solutions to overcome these issues (again, if any)?

Thanks and Regards,
Sandeep
