It's definitely possible. As far as I know, though, there's no inbuilt support, so you'll need an add-on module. What platform are you running on? On Debian Linux, for instance, you can simply "apt-get install python-mysqldb". But you may wish to consider using PostgreSQL instead. It's a generally better database engine than MySQL, and is equally well supported: http://wiki.python.org/moin/PostgreSQL Actually, to be quite honest, I'm surprised there's no module in the Python stdlib for either of the above. Possibly because there are several competing options. ChrisA -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
