Are you sure there's no other mysql db interface installed? If the DB is on
the very same server, it should be. If it isn't, and you'd like to access
an external firewall, you should check whether the firewall of your host
really allows outbound connections.

If it does, you should look for (or write by yourself) a pure-python db-api
implementation of mysqldb.

Otherwise, you could connect directly to the port of your mysql database
and just write raw sql and pull raw data from it, but this will prevent you
from the chance of using more enhanced db tools like sqlalchemy, and it's
highly discouraged as well as it's really prone to errors.
