I'm running the SuSE 8.2 distro with MySQL 4.1.0-0 and python-mysql-0.9.1-430.

On Saturday, I had to do a reinstall of everything (long story). The software listed above is the same as it was before the reinstall. The only difference is that this time I installed 4.1 directly, before I had done an upgrade from 4.0 to 4.1.

I try to connect to MySQL as follows:

import MySQLdb db = MySQLdb.connect(user="michael", passwd="*****", db="backups")

When I do this, I get the following exception:

_mysql_exceptions.OperationalError: (1249, 'Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server. Consider upgrading MySQL client')

Tables are INNODB, but we're not to that point yet. The MySQL client is the one with the 4.1 beta release - and worked before the reinstall.

Can anyone offer me any help??
