mysql323-client installs libmysqlclient.so.10 (instead of
libmysqlclient.so.6).
mysql323-{client,server} are production quality, now (according to
MySQL AB at least).
py-MySQLdb is a Python module to access MySQL databases, very similar to the one
in ports/databases/py-MySQL, but unlike the latter it is actively maintained
and conform to the DB-API v2.0. Therefore it should be used instead of the oldest
one by all who want retain maintainability of their Python DB applications in
the future.
