If you look at PyDO.mysqlconn, you'll see that a connectstring like
'host:user:db:passwd:cacheUser:verbose' should work, where the last
two (or even three) are optional.

You are quite right about the documentation; it was never completed
for skunk as a whole and has not been maintained.  However, I am
making an effort in new work, such as the rewrite of PyDO (PyDO2), to
keep the documentation thorough and up-to-date.  For PyDO in
particular, I suggest you consider using the new version.  The
refactoring and redocumenting process is being gradually extended to
skunkweb as a whole.
