[Tutor] Error connecting to MySQL from Python script

[Kamal]

I have the MySQL Server (5.0.51) running on Windows XP machine, when I try
to connect to this server with a Python script, it gives the below error.
Wondering why is it happening?

_mysql_exceptions.Operational
Error: (1251, 'Client does not support authentication protocol requested by
server; consider upgrading MySQL client')

Thanks,
Kamal
