Hi

Mysql db backend isn't available inside the appengine environment.  (There 
will be an option some day)

Alternately if your trying to connect to a remote mysql db (outside 
appengine) you would need a pure python 
implementation as most mysql client libs are based on c extensions.

However even if you had one of those (here is one 
https://github.com/petehunt/PyMySQL/wiki/PyMySQL:-Pure-Python-MySQL-Client)
it wouldn't do you a lot of good as mysql wire protocol isn't based on http 
(all outgoing connections need to be fundamentally based on http)

So you would need a http abstraction layer (or rest interface or something 
else) to connect to some remote mysqldb.

I think you need to have a read of the overview and getting started for 
appengine. I might give you a better idea about what you can/can't do 
with appengine  http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/python/overview.html

Rgds

Tim

P.S. Save your self some problems and use python 2.5 (ad then skip to 2.7 
when support for it comes out)
