Maxim Sobolev b5e2400373 Initial import of py-MySQLdb.
py-MySQLdb is a Python module to access MySQL databases, very similar to the one
in ports/databases/py-MySQL, but unlike the latter it is actively maintained
and conform to the DB-API v2.0. Therefore it should be used instead of the oldest
one by all who want retain maintainability of their Python DB applications in
the future.

You can easily access a MySQL database through the Python MySQL module.
This module should be mostly compatible with an older interface written by
Joe Skinner and others. However, the older version is
a) not thread-friendly (database operations could cause all other threads to
block),
b) written for MySQL 3.21 (does not compile against newer versions without
patches),
c) apparently not actively maintained.
MySQLdb is a completely new module, distributed free of charge under a license
derived from the Python license.
