.SH NOTES
.PP
Requires the MySQLdb Python package on the remote host. For Ubuntu, this is as easy as apt-get install python-mysqldb. 
.PP
Both \fClogin_password\fR and \fClogin_username\fR are required when you are passing credentials. If none are present, the module will attempt to read the credentials from \fC~/.my.cnf\fR, and finally fall back to using the MySQL default login of 'root' with no password.
