Will MySQLdb, the Python shim, be supported for Python 2.6 or 3.x?

    Some reports indicate it doesn't work. See

http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=2316047&forum_id=70460

    Whoever did the port somehow created a dependency on the
Intel math library, "libguide40.dll" and "libmmd.dll".  That shouldn't
be needed in the MySQL Python shim.  It's not freely distributable,
either; you have to buy the Intel C++ compiler to get it.  There are
versions of those DLLs available on the web, but they may or may not
be legitimate or current.
