[mod_python] mod_python & MySQLdb question

Thanks for your prompt answer and your help.

I'm coming from Zope, just got to mod_python a week ago. Please 
understand my being naïve.

I'm not quite there yet: thanks to your help now I'm able to get all my 
titles form mysql, but at the
end of the page (sigh) I get an apache error: "500 Internal Server 
Error"
"The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was 
unable to complete your request..."

Apache is not OK at all.

here is my code:

import MySQLdb, MySQLdb.cursors
from mod_python import apache

def read(req):
	req.content_type = "text/html"
	mydb = MySQLdb.connect(db='S_N', user='giampiero', compress=1, 
cursorclass=MySQLdb.cursors.DictCursor)
	cursor = mydb.cursor()
	stmt = "SELECT news_title FROM news"
	cursor.execute(stmt)
	rows = cursor.fetchall()
	mydb.close()
	for row in rows:
		s = row['news_title']
		print s
	return apache.OK

Thank you guys,

Giampiero
