Yes, thanks for the link. For some reason google wasn't finding that for me.

Re: Why does django use mysqldb over mysql-connector?

[Larry Martell]

What about mysqlclient? The django site says that is "the recommended
choice for using MySQL with Django" but I can't seem to find that
package. Does anyone have a link for that?

Re: Why does django use mysqldb over mysql-connector?

[lzanuz]

Hi all,

I notice that python-mysql-connector(1) is almost 30% slow that MySQLdb(2), 
but MySQLdb until now not support python3.

Anyone have news when MySQLdb will support python 3 or know another 
connector for mysql?

It's a litte confused at this time, because we have django1.7.X that 
supports python3.4.X very well, but we don't have a good compatible mysql 
connector.

Re: Why does django use mysqldb over mysql-connector?

[john2095]

My frustration was borne by the ease with which Debian makes the task: I 
did expect the job to be an insignificant one-line command. Thanks Tom. 
Apple don't see a profit in providing a mysql-client package.  Ramiro has a 
point that lobbying MySQL for a client-only OSX package is a righteous 
path. Thanks Ramiro.

But at the end of the day we can't expect everyone else to do everything 
for us.  I'm now dreaming of a week or two with nothing to do but put time 
into one of those abandoned starts at a django-mysql-connector.  Thanks 
Masklinn.

I think you've all answered my questions.

1) It's happened by design; mysqldb is mature, stable and omnipotent; 
mysql/oracle and apple are unmotivated.
2) No-one is currently working on removing the dependency.  There are only 
a couple of false starts to date.

cheers,
John.

MySQL's client libraries provide a reference C API to access the
database, and are the basis for most MySQL drivers. These are
obviously bundled as part of the server code, but can be built
separately.

The vast majority of OS will package the client libraries separately
to the server binaries - eg Debian:
http://packages.debian.org/sid/mysql-client-5.1 - but I expect you
installed from source, and were put off by it downloading the full
MySQL source tarball.

Cheers

Tom

IMHO who you really need to ask and whine to is with the providers of the
packaging of mysqldb and MySQL in your platform. It is really nasty that in
2012 you need to install the binaries of a database server to be able
to install the client-side drivers of a programming language. This is a
problem solved decades ago.

A quick google search (still works), points to
https://github.com/rtyler/connector-django-mysql and a few of its forks
(e.g. https://github.com/jerith/connector-django-mysql), as well as a
workaround like
http://forums.mysql.com/read.php?50,400033,400320#msg-400320

So yes, it would seem people have tried building backends, and these
works look mostly abandoned at this point.

I think what he was trying to get at is that the Python MySQL Adapter is in
early stages of development where-as Django is depended upon to be a very
stable platform/framework. It would be great to have the option to use that
adapter though for situations like yours.

Yes, that's the pure python adapter I'm talking about.  I think that's

one. 
 Nice link but I'm not sure if you're suggesting that as additional 
information or an answer?

The question remains is a compelling reason why "django.db.backends.mysql" 
is built upon mysqldb  with 
dependencies rather one without dependancies, and if anyone has attempted 
to implement an equivalent "django.db.backends.mysql" with the latter.

Why does django use mysqldb over mysql-connector?

[john2095]

I've just been through a slice of hell simply because I did not want to 
install mysql-server on my (osx) django development machine - my app 
connects to a remote mysql database.  It turns out that python's "mysqldb" 
depends on mysql binaries which are only packaged up with the server 
release.  This means that if you want to run django and connect to a remote 
mysql you still need to install mysqlserver locally.  I think that 
blows. Especially when there is a purely python mysql driver in 
"mysql-connector".

Has this happened by default or by design?  Is mysqldb really that much 
faster, or featureful, or just because it's more common?

Is anyone working on a pure python solution (mysql-connector) database 
backend? Is there one already?

thanks.
