   Unicode is required for MySQLdb 1.2.1 and 1.2.2beta, but not for
1.2.2final and up? Did I read it right?

   Another question: do I understand it right that MySQLdb *allows* unicode
query strings but doesn't *require* them? Becasue my (humble and
uninformed) opinion is to use that "loophole" and do not use unicode with
MySQLdb (yet).
