I've got several MySQL servers in production. I haven't seen any memory leak problems from a site that does baseline traffic of 3-4 hits from the Google bot per second, 24-7, plus user traffic. This is using the stock version of MySQLdb from Ubuntu 8.10. > Also one of the commenters of that blog post mentioned that unicode > support has been removed from mysql-python. Is that true?
