  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?
