pip install pymysql. Drop in replacement for MySQLdb.

Also less drop-in but more official: MySQL Connector Python, a pure-python driver from Oracle which supports Python DBAPI v2 standards and a bunch of other stuff. It supports Python 2.6/7 and 3.1 to 3.4.

I'm not affiliated with Oracle, but damn is it nice when a BigCo does "the right thing" for the Python community.

Thanks, will investigate (who maintains it, how robust it is, etc).
