Description of problem:

In the 1.2.2-2 release, as part of fixing #243877, the type of the version_info
value was changed from a tuple to a string. This is incompatible with the
upstream version and breaks any code that is using the version_info tuple to
detect which version of MySQLdb they are running against. Code such as "if
version_info < (1, 2, 1):" now returns True for 1.2.2-2, for example.

MySQLdb.version_info is part of the public API, so please retain compatibility
with other packagers (and upstream).
