Python interface to MySQL
Project description
Python interface to MySQL
MySQLdb is an interface to the popular MySQL database server for Python. The design goals are:
Compliance with Python database API version 2.0
Thread-safety
Thread-friendliness (threads will not block each other)
Compatibility with MySQL-3.22 and later
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, b) written for MySQL 3.21, c) apparently not actively maintained. No code from that version is used in MySQLdb. MySQLdb is free software.
