	First off, how much "managing" do you expect to perform? For
actually managing the MySQL server you're probably better off
downloading the dedicated application (Used to be "MySQL Admin" and a
separate "MySQL QueryBrowser" -- the current download is a unified
"MySQL Workbench").

	For routine database /access/ (that is, someone has created the
database user account that will be used), MySQLdb is the Python adapter
to connect to the server. For using THAT, you basically need to know SQL
(MySQL's flavor in particular), along with understanding the DB-API 2
specification (PEP-249) with the MySQLdb documentation (which explains
any limitations or specifics; see http://mysql-python.sourceforge.net/ )

	For books, though some are rather old by now:

MySQL for Python 
(Albert Lukaszewski; 2010 Packt Publishing)

The Definitive Guide to MySQL 5 3rd Ed 
(Michael Kofler; 2005 Apress)[no Python chapter, but does introduce the
now-discontinued Admin and QueryBrowser applications, and introduces the
features of MySQL v5

Managing & Using MySQL 2nd Ed (Reese/Yarger/King; 2002 O'Reilly)[has 5
pages on MySQL with Python]

	And a new edition NOT YET RELEASED -- don't know if this edition
includes anything on Python, the 3rd edition does not; but the volume is
huge and may be close to covering what the old MySQL AB "Administrators
Guide" and "Language Reference" books covered.

MySQL 5th Ed
(Paul DuBois; Dec 2012 Addison-Wesley [Developer's Library])
