>Description:
py-mysqldb is at version 0.1.3 in NetBSD.  Upstream is at version 0.9.1. 
Upstream has also moved to sourceforge; please find current releases at
http://sourceforge.net/projects/mysql-python.  Additionally, the NetBSD
package does not work with Python 2.1.  Many programs that use py-mysqldb
don't work -- for instance, even calling cursor.close() returns an error
because the library is so far out of date. 
>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:
Update to the file at
ftp://ftp.sourceforge.net/pub/sourceforge/mysql-python/MySQL-python-0.9.1.tar.gz
