MySQL-db lib for Python 3.x?
Question:
So, looking for a mysql-db-lib that is compatible with py3k/py3.0/py3000, any ideas? Google turned up nothing.
Answers:
As for future plans of MySQLdb, you might want to ask the author (Andy Dustman).

You’re probably better off using Python 2.x at the moment. It’s going to be a while before all Python packages are ported to 3.x, and I expect writing a library or application with 3.x at the moment would be quite frustrating.
not sure if you’re still looking, but you could try this:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/mypysql/
I was looking for it too, but also found nothing, so I ported MySQL-python-1.2.3 to py3k

It appears the MySQLdb is pretty much a dead project. However, PyMySQL is a dbapi compliant, pure-python implementation of a mysql client, and it has python 3 support.
EDIT: There’s also MySQL Connector/Python. Same idea.
You can download the mysql-connector-python module compatible with Python3:
Get the “source RPM”, unzip it and use it (e.g. put it in your PYTHONPATH, and look at the examples).
There is an official Python 2/3 library, downloadable from MySQL website.
Oracle released version 1.0.7 to public on 29 September 2012.
It’s pure Python and works with MySQL 4.1+
See more details here: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/connector-python/en/connector-python.html
I’m currently using it with MySQL 5.5 and Python 3.2 with no problems thus far 🙂
Here is a working repository for Python 3: https://github.com/davispuh/MySQL-for-Python-3
There are currently a few options for using Python 3 with mysql:
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/mysql-connector-python
- Officially supported by Oracle
- Pure python
- A little slow
- Not compatible with MySQLdb
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pymysql
- Pure python
- Faster than mysql-connector
- Almost completely compatible with
MySQLdb, after calling pymysql.install_as_MySQLdb()
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/cymysql
- fork of pymysql with optional C speedups
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/mysqlclient
- Django’s recommended library.
- Friendly fork of the original MySQLdb, hopes to merge back some day
- The fastest implementation, as it is C based.
- The most compatible with MySQLdb, as it is a fork
- Debian and Ubuntu use it to provide both
python-mysqldb andpython3-mysqldb packages.
