It works for me.  Is it perhaps because you didn't import
MySQLdb.cursors in your code before creating the connection (and that
the first connection you created did that import for you)?  Try this:

    import MySQLdb, MySQLdb.cursors
    db1 = MySQLdb.connect(user = config.user, passwd=config.passwd,
			  host=config.host, db = "prweb",
			  cursorclass=MySQLdb.cursors.DictCursor)
