Using python with MySQL

[HMS Surprise]

Greetings,

I need to peform some simple queries via MySQL. Searching the list I
see that folks are accessing it with python. I am very new to python
and pretty new to MySQL too. Would appreciate it if you could point me
to some documentation for accessing MySQL via python. Something of the
"Python and MySQL for Dummies" caliber would be about my speed, but of
course I will be thankful for anything offered.

Thanks,

jvh
