[Mailman-Developers] Mailman MySQL adaptor - MySQLdb module error

  So it appears that the wrappers are using the correct Python, so maybe

It looks like my webhost's support installed MySQL-python-1.2.3 in the 
root directory of my entire server, and it is owned by a user called "500"!

500 is not the permissions level, that is the name of the owner.  Should 
this value be changed?

Directory permissions are 775. Files are 664.
