Newbie MySQLdb / MySQL version problem, I think

[Dave Merrill]

Thanks Allastair, Leon, Tim, anyone else I missed. Bingo, that was it.

I didn't even try looking at mysql.com, duh. In my defense (;-), I'd already
spent a bunch of time in incompatible version hell with other things, so I
was (too) ready to think it either wouldn't work period, or I'd borked it up
somehow. Bless the problems you can fix, easily, even...
