Replying to [comment:1 Tim Graham]:
> Is there a reason to prefer PyMySQL instead?
There is a very important reason: mysqlclient is GPL-licensed. This makes
it impossible to create proprietary projects using MySQL. (I know it's not
AGPL and I'm not obliged to publish my backend code for everyone, but GPL
may still have other legal problems.)
In fact, I would really like the PyMySQL support to be full and official.
