Perl to Python using MqSQLdb

[Mike P]

Thanks for that Daniel,
I've been able to apply the logic to the rest of the script i'm
converting.

There are only two bits that i don't understand in the Perl script
that i need to convert,

my $sql = shift;

and

   my @row = $sth->fetchrow_array;
   $$StartDate = $row[0];
   $$EndDate = $row[1];
   $sth->finish()

can you offer any advise?

Mike
