[Python-modules-team] Bug#584260: python-mysqldb silently drops exceptions on deadlocks

[Eskil Olsen]

Package: python-mysqldb
Version: 1.2.2-10

There is a missing check in _mysql.c _mysql_ResultObject_Initialize, where a
failed SELECT that ends in a deadlock, returns a NULL from mysql_store
result, but according to
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/null-mysql-store-result.html, you
have to check errno or num_fields afterwards.

Not doing this, causes exceptions to be silently dropped.

Here's a similar bugreport
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2776267&group_id=22307&atid=374932

Attached is a patch that fixes the problem in _mysql.c. It was made against
1.2.3, but applies to 1.2.2 with some fuzz.

Patch has also been submitted to python-mysqldb at sourceforge.
