Does MySQLdb automatically reconnect if the connection to the database is
broken?
I'm asking this since I have a longrunning Python precess that is connected
to Mysql-4.1.11, and I execute "set names utf8" when I connect to it.
But after running a day the results from the python program were displayed
as if the "set names utf8" was not executed i.e. I got question marks where
utf-8 cyrillics should've appeared. After restarting the Python program
everything was ok, just as when I first started it.
The long running Python process is actually a scgi quixote web application.

I don't beleive that it does. You can however call ping() on the
connection which should attempt an automatic reconnection.
See the docs for mysql_ping: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/mysql-ping.html
I've never tested that, but I have a need for it also so let me know if
it works or not.

It seems so.

This is the sollution I've come to:
try:
# This will fail on MySQL < 4.1
db = MySQLdb.connect (godot.dbhost, godot.dbuser, godot.dbpass,
godot.dbname, use_unicode=1, init_command="s et names utf8")
except MySQLdb.Operati onalError:
db = MySQLdb.connect (godot.dbhost, godot.dbuser, godot.dbpass,
godot.dbname, use_unicode=1)
db.charset = 'utf8'

Greetings,
I am attempting to get MySQLdb 0.9.2 installed on Mac OS 10.2 with a
Fink distribution of Python 2.2.2. I have seen only a few posts on the
subject, some of them relate to "conflicting header files," but I don't
know what to do about conflicting header files, or where I would find
them, and once I found them, which ones to remove.
I have compiled MySQL 4.1 and installed into /usr/local/mysql, but

I was trying to use MySQLdb to connect to a database. All is OK, except I

Hello,
I'm stumbled at a serious problem, and quite frankly getting

I have this Python program, that performs MySQL queries to a database.
These queries are performed at regular intervals. Basically it is
looking for fields that match certain criterias. Such fields are not
present at all time. When the program finds such field, it then takes

imported
The point here is that MySQLdb is a package, not a module. Some packages
have their top-level __init__.py import the package's sub-modules or
sub-packages to make them immediately available within the package
namespace (which is why, for example, you can access os.path.* when you
have imported os) and others don't.
MySQLdb clearly doesn't need to import the cursors module for its own

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
