Using MySQLdb for Python database connection

Database login details:
User Name  Same as your FTP user name
Password  Same as your FTP password
Database  Your user name with a prefix of "db_"
Host  mysql.int.devisland.net

Using the above details you will be able to connect to your own database using the Python "MySQLdb" module. An example of how this is done is shown below:

#!/usr/local/bin/python
#test db connection
import MySQLdb
conn = MySQLdb.connect(host='mysql.int.devisland.net', user='username', passwd='password', db='db_username')
c = conn.cursor()
c.execute("SHOW PROCESSLIST;")
records = c.fetchall()
import pprint
print "Content-type: text\html"
print
pprint.pprint(records)
