can take. For this reason, I prefer to use keyword parameters::

This does exactly what the last example did, but is arguably easier to
read. But since the default host is "localhost", and if your login
name really was "joebob", you could shorten it to this::
db=_mysql.connect(passwd="moonpie",db="thangs")
db=_mysql.connect(password="moonpie",database="thangs")
UNIX sockets and named pipes don't work over a network, so if you
specify a host other than localhost, TCP will be used, and you can
specify an odd port if you need to (the default port is 3306)::
db=_mysql.connect(host="outhouse",port=3307,passwd="moonpie",db="thangs")
db=_mysql.connect(host="outhouse",port=3307,password="moonpie",database="thangs")
If you really had to, you could connect to the local host with TCP by
specifying the full host name, or 127.0.0.1.

Generally speaking, putting passwords in your code is not such a good
idea::

db=_mysql.connect(host="outhouse",database="thangs",read_default_file="~/.my.cnf")
This does what the previous example does, but gets the username and
password and other parameters from ~/.my.cnf (UNIX-like systems). Read

The ``connect()`` method works nearly the same as with `MySQLDB._mysql`_::
import MySQLdb
db=MySQLdb.connect(passwd="moonpie",db="thangs")

To perform a query, you first need a cursor, and then you can execute
queries on it::
