With a little experimentation, it turns out you connect to a socket if you
prefer with the present version of WeeWX. Use this in weewx.conf:
[[MySQL]]
# The host where the database is located
host = ''
unix_socket = /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock
Use an empty string for the hostname. Add an option "unix_socket" for the
socket address.
This works because the driver passes on any unknown options, in this case,
unix_socket, to the MySQL driver.
