#176 Incompatibility

[Anonymous]

Version 1.21 with MySQL 4.0:

Release notes say:
MySQL-4.0 is supported, but not tested and slightly
discouraged

connect() throws an exception:
File "MySQLdb/connections.py", line 261, in
set_character_set
raise UnsupportedError, "server is too old to set
charset"

This is not surprising, connections.py line 261 tests
for version 4.1!

So the release note or the code is wrong.

Downgraded to 1.2.0. connect() works.
