I\'m developing a web application that needs to interface with a MySQL database, and I can\'t seem to find any really good modules out there for Python.
I\'m specificall
oursql is another option for python-mysql access. It is a much more complete wrapper of libmysqlclient than MySQLdb. Tends to be faster in my experience with lots of nice additional features.
I usually use SQLObject, but I haven't used it under highly stressful conditions, so I couldn't vouch for performance (having said that, I wouldn't speak against it).
To copy some demo code from another answer:
from sqlobject import *
# Replace this with the URI for your actual database
connection = connectionForURI('mysql://server:XXXX')
sqlhub.processConnection = connection
# This defines the columns for your database table. See SQLObject docs for how it
# does its conversions for class attributes <-> database columns (underscores to camel
# case, generally)
class Song(SQLObject):
name = StringCol()
artist = StringCol()
album = StringCol()
# Create fake data for demo - this is not needed for the real thing
def MakeFakeDB():
Song.createTable()
s1 = Song(name="B Song",
artist="Artist1",
album="Album1")
s2 = Song(name="A Song",
artist="Artist2",
album="Album2")
def Main():
# This is an iterable, not a list
all_songs = Song.select().orderBy(Song.q.name)
# Do something by iterating over the song list...
MySQLdb is pretty much the only game in town for python mysql access.
I think my answer will be an update to the game field.
There is now the official MysQL Python Connector.
Install:
sudo pip install mysql-connector-python
Or download it from here:
