pymysql - Pure Python MySQL client is very good.
It works with Python 3.x, and doesn't have any dependencies.

This pure Python MySQL client provides a DB-API to a MySQL database by talking directly to the server via the binary client/server protocol.

Example:

import pymysql
conn = pymysql.connect(host='127.0.0.1', unix_socket='/tmp/mysql.sock', user='root', passwd=None, db='mysql')
cur = conn.cursor()
cur.execute("SELECT Host,User FROM user")
for r in cur:
    print(r)
cur.close()
conn.close()
