[Answered ]-Justifying Non-Standard Python 3 MySQL Connector Use

✅

MySQL Connector/Python is not bundled with Django, but it is made by Oracle. So I’m not sure if it should be considered an unofficial fork.

I’m using it with an old mySQL database, python 3.4 and django 1.7. The only problem I’ve noticed is that sometimes the error messages are a bit wonky.

Installation is very easy: 

pip install mysql-connector-python --allow-external mysql-connector-python

I have been using the mysql-connector-python connector for several months without issue. This is using Python 3.4.2 and Django-1.7.1.

It actually works much better than the git fork someone else did of the python 2 connector.

My opinion, don’t downgrade to python 2 – This is a solid connector in my experience.
