Python and MySQL

[Aquarius]

I appologize in advance for this strange (and possibly stupid)
question.

I want to know if there is a way to interface a MySQL database without
Python-MySQL or without installing anything that has C files that need
to be compiled. The reason for this, is that I want to develop a
certain web application, but my hosting provider (!#@$!@#%) isn't very
eager to supply Python-MySQL (or any modules to python). Is there an
alternative approach I could use to pass around this ridiculos lack of
functionality?
