MySQL Connector/Python allows Python programs to access MySQL
databases, using an API that is compliant with the
Python DB API
version 2.0. It is written in pure Python and does not have
any dependencies except for the
Python Standard
Library.
MySQL Connector/Python includes support for:
Almost all features provided by MySQL Server up to and including
MySQL Server version 5.5.
Converting parameter values back and forth between Python and
MySQL data types, for example Python datetime
and MySQL DATETIME. You can turn automatic
conversion on for convenience, or off for optimal performance.
All MySQL extensions to standard SQL syntax.
Protocol compression, which enables compressing the data stream
between the client and server.
Connections using TCP/IP sockets and on Unix using Unix sockets.
Secure TCP/IP connections using SSL.
Self-contained driver. Connector/Python does not require the
MySQL client library or any Python modules outside the standard
library.
MySQL Connector/Python supports from Python version 2.4 through 2.7,
and Python 3.1 and later. Note that Connector/Python does not
support the old MySQL Server authentication methods, which means
that MySQL versions prior to 4.1 will not work.
