If you have tried Quick start guides: MySQL cluster in 10
minutes, you may have realized that it is really quick
and easy. However, it leaves some typing to be done. Users of MySQL Sandbox have a horror of repetitive typing, and this got me thinking. "Could I integrate MySQL Sandbox and Cluster?" The answer was: "Sure." But then I started thinking of all the minor and major changes that I wanted to do to the Sandbox and have delayed for too long. What I need, is a radical refactoring. And then I remembered that it has been almost two years since I learned a new programming language and that perhaps I could expand my horizons … |

We just released MySQL Connector/Python 0.1.5 which includes a critical bug fix. It was impossible to read big result sets. The files for 0.1.4-release have been removed.
You can download MySQL Connector/Python from Launchpad.
Highlights:
- It was impossible to retrieve big result sets. (bug lp:551533 and lp:586003)
- Changing copyright from Sun to Oracle (also fixing silly typo)
A very Big Thanks goes to the reporters of bug lp:551533 and lp:586003. Apologies for not being able to reproduce the bug earlier, before releasing 0.1.4.

Next development release 0.1.4 of MySQL Connector/Python is now available for download. This will be the last in the 0.1-series as we move on to 0.2. The aim is to release more often to get to v1.0. Hurray!
Highlights:
- Reading from network was broken for bigger packages.
- Reimplementing protocol.MySQLProtocol marking simpler and easier to maintain.
- It is now possible to send multiple statements to MySQL using MySQLCursor.execute(). The results are accessible by calling the method next_resultset().
- MySQLCursor.callproc() will now store all result sets as a MySQLCursorBuffered. They are accessible using the next_proc_resultset() method. The result of the stored procedure is returned by callproc() itself as defined by PEP249.

I’ve recently had the pleasure of reading “Python Testing: An easy and convenient approach to testing your python projects” from Packt Publishing. It’s been a quick read but a solid set of instructions on the different methods for the subject.
The book starts out very quickly with details about the various methods that are available, the means of automation for testing, and of course the environment you’d want to be in for working on the subjects that the book covers. It then, in the second chapter, moves into the guts of testing by describing the basics of doctest via syntax and some simple examples, and then moves on to a real world example via the AVL tree. It’s all very basic testing until chapter three where the author gets into unit testing, …
