Well to be blunt I think that is pretty silly. You're yet to explain how
you would be able to achieve a speed up by having a module "inside" mod_python
versus putting "import MySQLdb" at the top of you handler. The handler is 
only started once so the extra milliseconds loading a module is irrelevant.

Next you'll be saying you want special regexp handling libraries and special
string handling libraries "inside" mod_python.

If mod_python ever does get a MySQLdb module inside it I will be the first
to fork the porject. (Not that I think Grisha would ever let it happen in
the first place).
