Hi,

Thanks for your effort providing us this driver.

However, I think there is a bug in _mysql.c. In the function "_mysql_field_to_python" there is a switch statement. In this statement the binary flag is always overwritten by the default block.
As a consequence I'm getting trouble processing binary data because the binary data is treated as text leading into conversion trouble.
I wanted to let you know about the problem, because you might want to check.

Thanks and regards!
