Python MySQL.connect() question

[Jim Conger]

(Answering my own question:  It turns out that this error message is
missleading.  mySQL is actually connecting, but then refusing to attach to
any database due to the mySQL security table settings.  I'm hopefull that
I can find some settings in mySQL that allow python to connect.  If anyone
has been through this before, let me know.
