py-MySQLdb is a Python module to access MySQL databases, very similar to the one in ports/databases/py-MySQL, but unlike the latter it is actively maintained and conform to the DB-API v2.0. Therefore it should be used instead of the oldest one by all who want retain maintainability of their Python DB applications in the future. PR: 18383 Submitted by: sobomax

You can easily access a MySQL database through the Python MySQL module.
|
|
|
|
This module should be mostly compatible with an older interface written by
|
|
Joe Skinner and others. However, the older version is
|
|
|
|
a) not thread-friendly (database operations could cause all other threads to
|
|
block),
|
|
b) written for MySQL 3.21 (does not compile against newer versions without
|
|
patches),
|
|
c) apparently not actively maintained.
|
|
|
|
MySQLdb is a completely new module, distributed free of charge under a license
|
|
derived from the Python license.
