python MySQLdb no longer works

[Rick Pasotto <rick@niof.net>]

I update to 'testing' daily. Suddenly I can no longer connect to mysql
using python. This is the error traceback:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
  File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/MySQLdb/__init__.py", line 75, in Connect
    return Connection(*args, **kwargs)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/MySQLdb/connections.py", line 207, in __init__
    self.autocommit(False)
_mysql_exceptions.ProgrammingError: (2014, "Commands out of sync; you can't run this command now")

What happened? How can I fix it?

 policemen, gendarmes, soldiers, prison guards, and hangmen. The
 essential feature of government is the enforcement of its decrees by
 beating, killing, and imprisoning. Those who are asking for more
 government interference are asking ultimately for more compulsion and
 less freedom." -- Ludwig von Mises
