Check out etlalchemy. It allows you migrate from MySQL to PostgreSQL, or between several other databases, in 4 lines of Python. You can read more about it here.

To install: pip install etlalchemy

To run:

from etlalchemy import ETLAlchemySource, ETLAlchemyTarget
# Migrate from MySQL to PostgreSQL
src = ETLAlchemySource("mysql://user:passwd@hostname/dbname")
tgt = ETLAlchemyTarget("postgresql://user:passwd@hostname/dbname",
                          drop_database=True)
tgt.addSource(src)
tgt.migrate()
