Bug#768096: ITP: python-mysqlclient -- Python interface to MySQL
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Brian May <bam@debian.org>
* Package name : python-mysqlclient
Version : 1.3.4
Upstream Author : INADA Naoki
* URL : https://github.com/PyMySQL/mysqlclient-python
* License : GPL
Programming Lang: Python
Description : Python interface to MySQL
To maintained by the Debian Python Modules Team.
This mysqlclient library is now the recommended choice for using MySQL
with Django.
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.7/ref/databases/#mysql-db-api-drivers
It is compatible with the current mysqldb package, except the current
package does not have python3 support.
It might be too late now for Jessie(?), but I think it is worth having
in sid, regardless.
BUT:
At quick glance it looks like this package provides a MySQLdb python
module. So, unless I am mistaken, it looks like it would conflict with
python-mysqldb. Is this considered acceptable?
Or would another solution be better, e.g. update the python-mysqldb
package to use this fork?
