I want to make a module that has the ability to access a remote MySQL database from within Sage (on a read-only basis)
Essentially I want Python and/or Sage versions of the various mysql_connect(), mysql_query() etc commands that you get from languages like PHP or even good old C. Sage does not include the Python MySQLdb module in its distribution, and so I assume that this is NOT the recommended way to approach this task. I *do* see that Sage includes sqlalchemy which I guess is some sort of database abstraction layer, but the version included with Sage is out- of-date, which makes me feel that this is ALSO not the recommended way. I also suspect that this is not really the right group to ask this question, but I am rather overwhelmed with the mass of unconnected documentation, wikis, forums etc so I thought I would start here and hope to get pointed in the right direction....
