Debian Sarge comes with MySQLdb 1.2.1.g2 but the check effectively doesn't kick in.
{{{
>>> (1,2,1,'gamma',2) < (1,2,1,'final',2)
False
}}}

Also MySQLdb has been imported as Database so the Error raised needs to be
{{{
raise ImportError, ""MySQLdb-1.2.1p2 or newer is required; you have %s"" % Database.__version__
}}}
