Python 2 reaches EOL on 2020-01-01 and one of its commonly used third-party packages is MySQL-python. If you have not yet migrated away from both of these, since MySQL-python does not support Python 3, then you may have come across some issues if you are using more recent versions of MySQL and are enforcing a secured installation. This post will look at two specific issues that you may come across (caching_sha2_password in MySQL 8.0 and TLSv1.2 with MySQL >=5.7.10 when using OpenSSL) that will prevent you from connecting to a MySQL database and buy …
