not too sure what to do about that, other then hard code '15' for the usage in django/db/backends/mysql/base.py.

but that seems to be the only thing about 1.2.1 v 1.2.2 that breaks the doc statement

""If you’re using MySQL, you’ll need MySQLdb, version 1.2.1p2 or higher. You will also want to read the database-specific notes for the MySQL backend."""		closed	Database layer (models, ORM)	dev		fixed	mysqldb		Accepted	0	0	0	0	0	0
