release of the pure Python database driver for MySQL.

MySQL Connector/Python version 1.0 is compatible with MySQL Server
versions 5.5 and greater, but should work with earlier versions
(greater than v4.1). Python v2.6 and greater as well as Python v3.1
and greater are supported. Python v2.4 and v2.5 are known to work,
but are not officially supported.

MySQL Connector/Python v1.0.10 is available for download from

http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/python/#downloads

A brief summary of changes in MySQL Connector/Python v1.0 is listed

Changes in MySQL Connector/Python v1.0.10 (7 May, 2013)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Functionality Added or Changed:

* A new connection option ssl_verify_cert checks the SSL
certificate for the server against the certificate found in
the file specified by the ssl_ca option. This option is
disabled by default. Any certificate mismatch of invalid
combination of SSL options will raise a ValueError exception.
(Bug #16400735)

* Connector/Python now supports the LOCAL keyword for LOAD DATA
LOCAL. (Bug #16369511, Bug #16736916)

* The MySQLConnection.cmd_shutdown() method now accepts an
optional shutdown type. A new ShutdownType constants class was
added. (Bug #16234441)

* The GPL Connector/Python packages contained non-GPL
documentation. This could be an issue when Linux distributions
would like to repackage. PDF and other documentation formats
now are removed from the GPL packages, which point in the
README_DOCS.txt file to online availability of the manual.
(Bug #68509, Bug #16430013)
