MySQLdb is Python to MySQL database adapter, but you probably knew that.
MySQLdb-1.2.4 is a bugfix release and most likely the very last of the
1.2 series. Currently in beta release, I plan to release the final
version on October 11, 2012. There may or may not be another test
release before then, depending on user feedback. 1.2.4 beta 2 has
gotten over 8000 downloads just on PyPi in the last four days.
Python 2.4 through 2.7 are supported. Unfortunately it was not
feasible to simultaneously support Python 2.4 and Python 3, even using
six.
MySQLdb-1.3.0 will support Python 2.7 and Python 3.2 and Python 3.3
(and probably all Python 3.x). Look for it around Halloween.
MySQLdb-2.0, which is a major refactor, is being renamed moist and is
a project on github. Anticipated release in early 2013.

How to install:
pip install MySQL-python # easy_install ought to still work too
You will need to have the MySQL development libraries and C headers
appropriate for your system before building.
There is a Windows installer on PyPi for Python 2.7 and MySQL
Connector/C 6.0.2 for i386 (32-bit). If you really need a 64-bit
version, request one, or try building it yourself. Get the MySQL
Connector/C and Visual Studio 2008 (required version for Python binary
compatibility) and setup.py install or maybe use pip.
How to submit bug reports and other requests:
I would prefer that you submit them at github, but you may continue to
submit them at SourceForge as well:
https://github.com/farcepest/MySQLdb1
https://sourceforge.net/projects/mysql-python/
Please don't email me bug reports or patches as I scale worse than
Linus Torvalds.
