MySQL Connector/Python

MySQL Connector/Python enables 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, and all MySQL extensions to standard SQL syntax.
