Last week we made a maintenance release for MySQL Connector v1.0 available. The announcement can be read in the MySQL forums and the history log is available online.
Connector/Python v1.0.8 does not introduce anything new, it only comes with bug fixes. Some are quite important and it’s probably good to upgrade.
Please use the MySQL Bugs website to report any problem.

Today, during MySQL Connect 2012 keynote, the General Availability of MySQL Connector/Python 1.0 was announced! This is the first GA release of Oracle’s pure Python database driver for MySQL.
MySQL Connector/Python v1.0 works with MySQL 5.5 and 5.6, but older versions of the MySQL servers are known to work. For Python, version v2.6, v2.7 and v3.1 and greater are officially supported. Python v2.4/2.5 are know to work as well.
As always, we welcome your feedback and questions through our bug system or using the MySQL Python forum.

Come and join us at the MySQL Connect 2012 conference in San Fransisco next week, 29/30 September. My colleague Chuck and I are both giving 3 sessions in which we discuss MySQL Utilities and Connector/Python.
Overview of our session:
We released the second beta of MySQL Connector/Python v1.0. You can download v1.0.6 from the MySQL website and the change history can be found in the online manual.
Usually, beta releases do not have big changes, but we had to push some code which did not make the previous one and it really had to go into v1.0. The exceptions raised by Connector/Python are now mapped against the ‘SQLState’ found in the MySQL server errors. This makes it much easier to maintain and clearer which exception can be expected. It is, however, possible to override how errors are …
[Read more]It is possible with MySQL Connector/Python to define your own cursor classes. A very good use case is to return rows as dictionary instead of tuples. This post shows how to do this using MySQL Connector/Python v1.0 and is an update for an older blog entry.
In the example below we are subclassing the MySQLCursor class to create a new class called MySQLCursorDict. We change the _row_to_python() method to return a dictionary instead of a tuple. The keys of the dictionary will be (unicode) column names.
from pprint import pprint
import mysql.connector
class MySQLCursorDict(mysql.connector.cursor.MySQLCursor):
def _row_to_python(self, rowdata, desc=None):
row = super(MySQLCursorDict, self)._row_to_python(rowdata, desc)

We finally got the MySQL Connector/Python repositories reorganised on Launchpad. The following changes have been made:
By last Friday morning the open bugs count raised above 150 mark and we managed to take it down to under 25 by the end of the day, thanks to the dedicated effort by the team. Among them, one was to make the Nodejs server run continuously. In our application we are using the Nodejs […]
I feel a sense of pride when I think that I was involved in the development and maintenance of what was probably the first piece of software accepted into Debian which then had and still has direct up-stream support from Microsoft. The world is a better place for having Microsoft in it. The first operating system I ever ran on an 08086-based CPU was MS-DOS 2.x. I remember how thrilled I was when we got to see how my friend’s 80286 system ran BBS software that would cause a modem to dial a local system and display the application as if it were running on a local machine. Totally sweet.
When we were living at 6162 NE Middle in the nine-eight 292, we got an 80386 which ran Doom. Yeah, the original one, not the fancy new one with the double barrel shotgun, but it would probably run that one, too. It was also …
[Read more]Yesterday we announced the availability of MySQL Connector/Python v1.0.5 beta. Today I’ve made it available on PyPI so it can be easily installed. Note that I did remove the old development release and when you upgrade or try v1.0.5, you should check the ChangeLog.
shell> pip install mysql-connector-python
For those wondering why the name includes ‘python’: it’s just to align it with other MySQL connectors and to keep the name consistent with other distribution types.
We welcome and appreciate feedback and comments for this first beta release through the forum and the …
