connect with MySQL question

[pengz1]

Hi! All
I download MySQL to Python interface software and get MySQLdb module etc installed. But when I start mysqld on XP from c:\mysql\bin (all in windows) and use following code to connect MySQL it fails

# Database access
import MySQLdb
con=MySQLdb.connect(host="127.0.0.1",port=3306,user="root",passwd="mypasswd",db="smalldb")
Cursor=con.cursor()
sql_cmd="select * from customers"
Cursor.execute(sql_cmd)
results=Cursor.fetachall()
con.close()


It asked for client upgrade. What that mean? MySQL is 4.0
Anyone can help?
Thanks in advance.

Regards
Zhiyong
