MySQL Connector/Python enables Python programs to access MySQL databases, using
|
||
|
|
an API that is compliant with the Python DB API version 2.0. It is written in
|
||
|
|
pure Python and does not have any dependencies except for the Python Standard
|
||
|
|
Library.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
MySQL Connector/Python includes support for:
|
||
|
|
* Almost all features provided by MySQL Server up to and including MySQL Server
|
||
|
|
version 5.5.
|
||
|
|
* Converting parameter values back and forth between Python and MySQL data
|
||
|
|
types, for example Python datetime and MySQL DATETIME. You can turn automatic
|
||
|
|
conversion on for convenience, or off for optimal performance.
|
||
|
|
* All MySQL extensions to standard SQL syntax.
|
||
|
|
* Protocol compression, which enables compressing the data stream between the
|
||
|
|
client and server.
|
||
|
|
* Connections using TCP/IP sockets and on Unix using Unix sockets.
|
||
|
|
* Secure TCP/IP connections using SSL.
|
||
|
|
* Self-contained driver. Connector/Python does not require the MySQL client
|
||
|
|
library or any Python modules outside the standard library.
