You'll need the MySQLdb module to connect to MySQL from Python.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/mysql-python/
According to its sourceforge page, the module supports:
MySQL versions 3.23-5.1; and Python versions 2.3-2.5 are supported.
One of the reviews on the page says it also works with Python 2.6.

If you already know how to use phpMyAdmin and it serves your needs,
why not just stick
with it?
Another option is MySQL's database management tools:
http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/gui-tools/5.0.html
I don't believe these can administer remote databases, but you'll
want to check the docs on that to be sure. I've only used them on a local
machine, and they worked fine for that purpose.
