My thinking was as follows:- There already exists in the book a section titled "Python Modules". This provides a list of useful packages providing python extensions for heavyweight packages covered elsewhere in the book. MySQL is such a package which is featured in the book; it is popular and important. There exists a python module for MySQL, viz MySQL-python. It seems reasonable to me that this module should be included in the "Python Module" section of the book. These days Python is an important language -- particularly for web-based applications. In answer to your reply above: if ease of installation were a bar to entry in the book then the book would become very sparse indeed. Secondly, just because I've only just found a use for MySQL-python myself does not mean that it would not be a useful addition to the book. I'm not trying to set myself up as a sole arbiter; that's why I was looking for input from others, such as yourself.
