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.
