Commit 59a9260c5d7b5677d207a90798c1058779dfe871 adds the following line to gluon/packages/dal/pydal/adapters/mysql.py (line 44 in 2.18.5):

self.driver_args['password'] = password

This does not work with MySQLdb.py. "TypeError: \'password\' is an invalid keyword argument for this function\n'" It needs to be

self.driver_args['passwd'] = password

Making this change in my copy of the source fixes the problem. Could you please fix this in web2py?

Thanks

Kris

Any update on when 2.18.6 will be released - or is there an accepted workaround other than taking latest version? This seems a rather fundamental bug when you upgrade a mysql setup?

Regards

Donald
