Hi John,
Unlike Java, Python doesn't force you to put everything in a class. You
can try the simpler:
######
import MySQLdb
db = MySQLdb.connect(host="localhost",user =
"john",password = "asdlkj", db = learnpython)
cursor = db.cursor()
cursor.execute(" describe contact" )
cursor.execute(" SELECT * from contact" )
######
from toplevel.

What do you expect to see, and from where?
A call to cursor.execute() sets the cursor up so that subsequent calls to
cursor.fetchone() will give us result rows. See:
http://www.amk.ca/python/writing/DB-API.html
You need to add some code to print out the result set. The link above is
a tutorial to the database interface that should help you get started.
Good luck!
