Package: python-django
Version: 1:1.9.8-1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
Ubuntu's django package has only one diff compared to Debian: the addition
of pymysql support. Since pymysql is in Debian [1] too, I think it makes
sense for this change to be made in the Debian packaging too.

I have reviewed the upstream discussions around this topic and it looks
like that upstream decided to not officially support python-pymysql
because:
- it's 8x time slower than a native MySQL client
- it means a supplementary configuration to test
- the original interest in pymysql was for Python 3 support
but this has been solved upstream by switching to mysqlclient
instead of the original python-mysqldb.
I don't want to overrule the upstream developers on such a decision and
maintaining this as a longterm Debian patch makes no sense either. If
someone really wants to use Django with "pymysql" then they could just
create an alternate Django db driver. Or package "pymysql" in a way so
that it takes over the MySQLdb python module.
So I would suggest to actually drop that change in the Ubuntu package
instead of trying to merge it in Debian. I'm ccing Corey Bryant who did
the change in Ubuntu (in version 1.7.9-1ubuntu4), maybe he can explain why
he did the change in the first place? Was it for Python 3 support?
Cheers,
