5008	in mysql backend the test for MySQLdb version fail	p.patruno@…	Adrian Holovaty	"On my platform:

>>> import MySQLdb as Database
>>> Database.version_info
(1, 2, 2, 'final', 0)
>>> 

so the test in 
db/backends/mysql/base.py

version = Database.version_info
if (version < (1,2,1) or (version[:3] == (1, 2, 1) and
        (len(version) < 5 or version[3] != 'final' or version[4] < 2))):
    raise ImportError, ""MySQLdb-1.2.1p2 or newer is required; you have %s"" % Database.__version__

fail and raise an error, but I think the version of MySQLdb is right
