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
- Thread-safety
- Thread-friendliness (threads will not block each other)
- Compatibility with MySQL-3.22 and later
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, b) written for MySQL 3.21, c) apparently
not actively maintained. No code from that version is used in
MySQLdb. MySQLdb is free software.

===> The following configuration options are available for py27-MySQLdb56-1.2.5_2:
DOCS=on: Build and/or install documentation
MYSQLCLIENT_R=on: Use libmysqlclient_r (thread safe)
===> Use 'make config' to modify these settings
- make py*-MySQLdb ports actually conflict with each other [1]
while here:
- do not use easy_install and add stage support
- convert to auto-generated packing list
- bump PORTREVISION
- add py-MySQLdb56 port as a slave to py-MySQLdb
