So are we happy with the state of this? How should I adjust my CI to
validate this fix?
I currently have:
```
yum -y install maven tomcat mkisofs python-paramiko
jakarta-commons-daemon-jsvc jsvc ws-commons-util genisoimage gcc python
MySQL-python openssh-clients wget git python-ecdsa bzip2 python-setuptools
mariadb-server mariadb python-devel vim nfs-utils screen setroubleshoot
openssh-askpass java-1.7.0-openjdk-devel.x86_64 rpm-build rubygems nc
yum -y install
http://mirror.karneval.cz/pub/linux/fedora/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm
yum --enablerepo=epel -y install sshpass mariadb mysql-connector-python
```
and when marvin is installed:
```
pip install --upgrade tools/marvin/dist/Marvin-*.tar.gz --allow-external
mysql-connector-python
```
But `--allow-external` has been deprecated, so I don't actually think that
does anything anymore...
> Python scripts should depend on mysql.connector instead of MySQLdb

> 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.
