Well, this actually is the case: MySql has not been ported. As far as
I can see the mysql python module in general (meaning for the 2.x
branch) is not as well maintained as some others and questions about
windows vs. linux issues periodically come up on the mailing list. So
I would not be surprised if porting mysql to the 3.x branch will take
longer and will be less well-maintained than other database bindings.

The 3.x branch just as the 2.x branch contains bindings to sqlite.
This you can use from day 1, the 3.0 release contains it.
