Reading from a MySQL Database With Python

In this tutorial, we will query a MySQL database for a value which we take from user input. To do this, we use a class to represent the table of the database and a loop to iterate through the table.

Perhaps the easiest Python module to use with MySQL is MySQLdb. It is available from Sourceforge. The main documentation on this module may also be found at Sourceforge here.
