Hi Ben,
is it any different from pymysql? This is the latest thing I tried & I
don't seem to be able to establish a decent connection, in spit of my
following the exact prescription in the documentation... Besides,
pymysql is said to be compatible with MySQL 4.1 which is quite a few
version behind what is recommended (MySQL 5.7.17).
I'm getting a bit discouraged... If I don't get ahead with
practical/encouraging results soon, I think I'll start swaying towards
PHP:-) But if you tell me it stands a better chance of being what the
doctor ordered, I'll gladly oblige...
Thanks a bunch,
Cheers!

Hi all,
I'm new to Python but not quite new to programming... I have worked on mainframes way back when & I have used a variety of script languages, C, ColdFire & others...
My question today concerns Python & MySQL. I have installed MySQL 5.7 server on my Windows 7 computer, created my database & tables, then populated it all with the necessary data.
I wanted to use Python to build an interface to that MySQL database. I had installed Python 3.6 but when MySQL installed, it complained that it required Python 3.4 so refused to install the proper plug-in...
Will I have to install an earlier version of Python to satisfy the MySQL wizzard requirement or do I have a workable way to use a MySQL database with Python 3.6...
Thank you in advance for sharing your musings:-)
Cheers,
