Okay, good start. mysql itself is out of the picture.
If
MySQL-Python itself were an issue, OpenStack could switch to another
MySQL library, such as MySQL Connector/Python which is now MySQL's
official Python driver:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/connector-python/en/index.html
It seems like mysql-python could be an issue given that it's licensed GPLv2.
Has anyone tested any of the mysql DBAPIs with more permissive licenses?
I just mentioned other MySQL drivers the other day; MySQL
Connector/Python, OurSQL and pymysql are well tested within SQLAlchemy
and these drivers generally pass all tests. There's some concern over
compatibility with eventlet, however, I can't speak to that just yet.
Okay, so they're not really tested with OpenStack then?
