It's definitely possible. As far as I know, though, there's no inbuilt
support, so you'll need an add-on module. What platform are you
running on? On Debian Linux, for instance, you can simply "apt-get
install python-mysqldb".

But you may wish to consider using PostgreSQL instead. It's a
generally better database engine than MySQL, and is equally well
supported:

Actually, to be quite honest, I'm surprised there's no module in the
Python stdlib for either of the above. Possibly because there are
several competing options.
