MySQL for Python

Add a README, with a map to the known repositories...

Ensure NULLs are returned as None by default. Return bad time values unchanged instead of None.

Merge some Kyle stuff

Bleached some whitespace so now it is extra-white.

Remove $Revision$ and $Author$ refs as hg doesn't use them.

Death to CVS! Long live Mercurial.

Update to 0.6c11 bootstrap code.

1.2.3 notes

Copy compile -arch args to link args so we work on OS X

Remove trailing whitespace

More serious restructuring and cleaning, especially in the handling
of result sets. All tests pass.

This passes all test, yet is still broken and ugly in many ways.
However, a lot of ugliness has been removed.

Added a simple_fetch_row() to the result object that simply returns one row
as a tuple of strings (or None for NULL values). Result objects are also
now iterators which internally use simple_fetch_row().

Check in some old changes

Back-port unsigned long kill unpack fix from 1.2br.

show_warnings was renamed show_warnings (bug 2796727)

Defer incrementing reference to the decoder stack until later so we don't have to
dec-ref if an error happens. Merge of change 630 on 1.2br.

simplify using PyString_FromFormat

Reimplement MySQL->Python type conversion in C; much simpler and easier to deal with now. Hey, all my tests pass, so I guess that means I need to write some more tests.

By exposing connection on result, decoders can be simplified: Only the field object is needed. Turned on leak testing and found a leak writing BLOBs. removed one of the old stubs in Cursor.

figleaf revealed that the INSERT_VALUES regex never matched. Added a test for this, and fixed the regex (forgot to add group anchors)

Cursor MixIns: DEAD. More of the new type conversion scheme exposed. Two tests failing because encoding hasn't been finished yet.

Add a connection.ping() test. Oh look, it's broken.

Fix #2671682. (from 1.2 branch)

Move the test_suite config to where it belongs
