Yes and no. There's nothing in the MySQL client API that affects password authentication. As long as you link against the 4.1.x client libraries, it should just work; there's nothing you have to do (or can do) in your code (or even within MySQLdb).
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Does python mysqldb 1.20 package support the new password hashing scheme of mysql 4.1.x?
thanks
