#1 non threading python

[Jesús Cea Avión]

MySQL for Python version 0.3.5
Python 2.0

I have two Python versions, one compiled with thread
support and the othe without threads. The version
without threads is used in mod_python, because
compatibility issues.

When I try to use "MySQL for Python" from the non
threading version, I receive a runtime error since
"threading.Lock()" fails.

The threading autodetect in the library if fooled since
it only tries to import the module "threading".
Neveretheless, I can have a python version with that
module and NOT threading support.

The patch is fairly simple:

There's a new MySQLdb tree for 0.9.0. You can specifically
tell it to not use threads by supplying a threads=0
parameter to connect(). If there really is a faux threading
module on systems without threads, I will have to rework it
a little, but threads=0 should still work.

I've taken out all the thread stuff entirely. The only time
it was ever used is when you tried to share a connection
between two threads. You can still use threads, just don't
try to share them between threads unless you use a lock to
make sure they both don't try to use the connection
simultaneously.
