Verify thread-safety MySQLdb (Python) prior to Trac installation

I'm trying to install Trac manually for the first time. I don't want to use a one-click-installer like Bitmani, I want to learn how to install Trac manually, so I'm following the instructions carefully. I'm installing it in a Windows localhost for now, before installing it in a Linux environment.

As I follow the instructions carefully, I needed to install Python+MySQLDb, and I read this:

thread-safety is important (...) verify that it is thread-safe by calling MySQLdb.thread_safe() from a standalone Python script (i.e., not under Apache). If the stand-alone test reports that MySQLdb is indeed thread-safe (...)

I've just installed MySQLDb 1.2.4 and I'd like to verify this. I've Googled but I haven't found an example about this, and I have no idea about Python. How can I verify if I've got a thread-safe installation?

Run this command. If you get 1 in the output, your installation is threadsafe.

python -c "import MySQLdb ; print MySQLdb.thread_safe()"
