Your code has been rated at 6.48/10 (previous run: 6.48/10, +0.00)
```
I also wrote a small test script:
```
from db import Database
db = Database(username='root', password='XXXX')
try:
db.testConnection()
print("Succes!")
except:
raise
```
The result:
```
wido@wido-laptop:~/repos/cloudstack/python/lib/cloudutils$ python
smallthin.py
Succes!

> Python scripts should depend on mysql.connector instead of MySQLdb

> Key: CLOUDSTACK-8818
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-8818
> Project: CloudStack
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Security Level: Public(Anyone can view this level - this is the
> default.)
> Reporter: Wido den Hollander
> Labels: mysql, python, python3
>
> Our current Python scripts depend on MySQLdb for MySQL connections.
> The best way to go is the native mysql.connector which implements the MySQL
> protocol in native Python instead of depending on external libraries.
> It would be best if we drop MySQLdb and use mysql.connector since that also
> supports Python 3.
