What I mean is that wiht platform-independent access, I should be able
to not care on which operating system is the web server accessing my
scripts where I use MySQLdb which I have to install (and therfore
platform-dependently) compile myself. The important point is that
MySQLdb is installed as an extra module. So you have to compile it
manually, but what if the OS with server accessing the site that is on
shared area changes?
