I have no SSL experience or direct mod_python experience (I do use Myghty effectively), but I have used MySQLdb extensively in multi-threaded environments. There is a Python database API (PEP 249). As far as I know, MySQLdb implements this API well. I have personally never had problems. Andy Dustman, the author of the package is quite responsive to requests raised in the mysql-python forums on SourceForge (http://sourceforge.net/forum/?group_id=22307). If you have problems with MySQLdb, bring them up there. I'm sure Andy will respond. Skip -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
