Mysql's mysql module

[Tobiah]

I just noticed this:

What are the thoughts on this vs. the MySQLdb with which
I'm familiar?

I also noticed MySQLdb2. I was wondering whether to use
this version on a new project that is likely to take some
months to develop.

Thanks,

Tobiah

* Does it adhere to the Python database API?
http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0249/

* Is source available?

* Does it have a reasonable open source license?

These questions come immediately to mind because at work we briefly
considered, then rejected, a similar offering from the Sybase folks
for connecting to (big surprise) Sybase. We never needed to ask the
first and third questions, because the answer to the second was, "no",
and they only offered a version built against Python 2.6. Since we use
Python 2.4 and 2.7, that was an immediate nonstarter.
