What version of MySQL-python (MySQLdb) are you using, and how did you
install it? I'd recommend 1.1.1 or 1.0.0 for use with Python-2.3.4.
Whatever version you have needs to be built for your major version of
Python (you upgraded from 2.1 to 2.3) and MySQL (you upgraded from
3.23 to 4.0). Get the mysql-devel package for your version, and then
build MySQL-python according to the README; there are instructions for
building RPM packages. I am no longer building RPM packages, so you
have to do it yourself.

You do not need to upgrade ZMySQLDA, but I recommend the latest beta,
which is about 2 yrs old. It seems to be stable enough...
