@rhtyd I grepped *after* my modifications :)
Yes, the API between MySQLdb and mysql.connector is the same. The only
difference is the import and the connection creation.
Afterwards you can get a cursor and execute queries.
When you do more advanced/complex things there are API differences, but
that's not being used by CloudStack.
> Python scripts should depend on mysql.connector instead of MySQLdb

> 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.
