Python interface to MySQL

mysqlclient is a fork of MySQL-python. It adds Python 3 support and fixed many bugs.

MySQLdb is an interface to the popular MySQL_ database server for Python. The design goals are:

• Compliance with Python database API version 2.0 [PEP-0249]_
• Thread-safety
• Thread-friendliness (threads will not block each other)

MySQL-5.5 through 5.7 and Python 2.7, 3.4+ are currently supported. PyPy is supported too.

MySQLdb is Free Software_.
