Drop The MySQLdb packages was hold for compatibility and fallback. Drop MySQLdb support due to following reasons: - MySQLdb does not work with Python 3 - MySQLdb development is no longer maintained and development stopped 6 years ago - MySQLdb's usage is deprecated for 20 months already - Python 2 support will be dropped (T213287 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T213287>) - PyMySQL module is pure python and does not depend on having the mysql client to be installed on the host - PyMySQL was installed at tool labs already (T189052 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T189052>) - PyMySQL does not need a MySQL client and installation is much more easier TASK DETAIL https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T243154 EMAIL PREFERENCES https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/settings/panel/emailpreferences/ To: Xqt Cc: Mpaa, zhuyifei1999, Dvorapa, hashar, Aklapper, Xqt, pywikibot-bugs-list, Zkhalido, Viztor, Wenyi, Tbscho, MayS, Framawiki, Mdupont, JJMC89, Altostratus, Avicennasis, mys_721tx, jayvdb, Dalba, Masti, Alchimista, Rxy
