Hi,

I propose to replace mysql-python with mysqlclient in OpenStack applications to get Python 3 support, bug fixes and some new features (support MariaDB's libmysqlclient.so, support microsecond in TIME column).

In fact, when looking at the python-mysqldb package description in Debian, I can see:

 Mysqlclient is an interface to the popular MySQL database server for
 Python.
 .
 This is a fork of MySQLdb. It add Python 3.3 support and merges some
 pull requests.

Then I saw this:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=768096

Wow, the thread decides to go forward with the move based on incorrect information. MySQL-Python's last release was on Jan 2, 2014, *not* in 2010. They are looking at the entirely wrong repository.

Andy Dustman is a real person who is easily locatable on many services including Twitter, Linkedin, Github, etc. Any chance that anyone has tried to get a comment from him on this, given that with the Django recommendation and the distro package moves, his package is about to be more or less wiped out of most major distributions? It just would be good style IMHO.
