Python and MySQL: is there an alternative to MySQLdb?

Question

Is there a module written purely in Python that will allow a script to communicate with a MySQL database? I\'ve already tried MySQLdb without success. It requires too much: GCC,

Answer 1

As mentioned in earlier answer, MySQL Connector/Python implements the MySQL Server/Client completely in Python. No compiling, just installing.

Here are the links:
* https://launchpad.net/myconnpy
* code: https://code.launchpad.net/myconnpy
* download: https://launchpad.net/myconnpy/+download (development shapshots)

It's not complete yet, but it should have enough to keep you going. (FYI, I am the maintainer)
