# The databases/py-mysql port

## py-mysql-1.2.3p4 – Python interface to MySQL

## Description

    Python interface to MySQL.

    MySQLdb is an interface to the popular MySQL database server for
    Python.  The design goals are:

    -     Compliance with Python database API version 2.0
    -     Thread-safety
    -     Thread-friendliness (threads will not block each other)
    -     Compatibility with MySQL 3.22 and 3.23

    This module should be mostly compatible with an older interface
    written by Joe Skinner and others. However, the older version is
    a) not thread-friendly, b) written for MySQL 3.21, c) apparently
    not actively maintained. No code from that version is used in
    MySQLdb. MySQLdb is distributed free of charge under a license
    derived from the Python license.
