Hi
When using mysql backend, when one runs the dbshell command,
subprocess.call() uses the mysql command line argument --password. This is
insecure on multi-users systems, since anyone who can do "ps" is able to
see the password.
I believe it would be much better to write the password in the temporary
configuration file whose name is given using --defaults-extra-
file=file_name, in a way similar to
