+MySQL-python (Python interface to MySQL)
+
+MySQLdb is an interface to the popular MySQL database server for Python.
+The design goals are:
+
+ * Compliance with Python database API version 2.0 [PEP-0249]
+ * Thread-safety
+ * Thread-friendliness (threads will not block each other)
+
+MySQL-3.23 through 5.1 and Python-2.3 through 2.6 are currently supported.
+
+This requires the Python setuptools (pysetuptools on SlackBuilds.org).
