Hi.
Been told by the admin of my (free!) server that he'd rather I should learn to use mysql if I want to continue writing cgi scripts there.
Not even sure exactly what mysql is.
Is there a simple tutorial anywhere on the web about using python + mysql?
Did you try googling?
There are two items in the very first page that should be of use to you. One is the Python-MySQL module, which you should have installed.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/mysql-python
There is an examples directory that has some concrete stuff to help you learn.
Another hit is a basic tutorial, simple to follow and learn :- http://images.devshed.com/Server_Side/Python/PythonMySQL/PythonMySQL.pdf
And here is one more site, good stuff here too:- http://www.kitebird.com/articles/pydbapi.html
You might also want to check the "Charming Python" pages at IBM.com but I dont know if they have articles covering mysql.
HTH!
