首先，从https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/python/安装python-mysql连接器

在Python控制台输入:

pip install mysql-connector-python-rf
import mysql.connector

尽管有以上所有答案，如果您不想预先连接到特定的数据库，例如，如果您仍然想创建数据库(!)，您可以使用connection.select_db(数据库)，如下所示。

import pymysql.cursors
connection = pymysql.connect(host='localhost',
                         user='mahdi',
                         password='mahdi',
                         charset='utf8mb4',
                         cursorclass=pymysql.cursors.DictCursor)
cursor = connection.cursor()
cursor.execute("CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS "+database)
connection.select_db(database)
sql_create = "CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS "+tablename+(timestamp DATETIME NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY)"
cursor.execute(sql_create)
connection.commit()
cursor.close()

如果你想避免安装mysql头文件只是为了从python访问mysql，请停止使用MySQLDb。

使用pymysql。它做了MySQLDb做的所有事情，但是它完全是用Python实现的，没有外部依赖。这使得在所有操作系统上的安装过程一致且简单。pymysql是MySQLDb的替代品，在我看来，没有任何理由使用MySQLDb做任何事情…!-在Mac OSX和*Nix系统上安装MySQLDb的PTSD，但这只是我的想法。

安装

安装pymysql

就是这样……你已经准备好了。

来自pymysql Github repo的示例用法

import pymysql.cursors
import pymysql

# Connect to the database
connection = pymysql.connect(host='localhost',
                             user='user',
                             password='passwd',
                             db='db',
                             charset='utf8mb4',
                             cursorclass=pymysql.cursors.DictCursor)

try:
    with connection.cursor() as cursor:
        # Create a new record
        sql = "INSERT INTO `users` (`email`, `password`) VALUES (%s, %s)"
        cursor.execute(sql, ('webmaster@python.org', 'very-secret'))

    # connection is not autocommit by default. So you must commit to save
    # your changes.
    connection.commit()

    with connection.cursor() as cursor:
        # Read a single record
        sql = "SELECT `id`, `password` FROM `users` WHERE `email`=%s"
        cursor.execute(sql, ('webmaster@python.org',))
        result = cursor.fetchone()
        print(result)
finally:
    connection.close()

在现有代码中快速透明地替换MySQLdb

如果你有使用MySQLdb的现有代码，你可以通过以下简单的过程轻松地将其替换为pymysql:

# import MySQLdb << Remove this line and replace with:
import pymysql
pymysql.install_as_MySQLdb()

所有对MySQLdb的后续引用都将透明地使用pymysql。

对于Python3.6，我找到了两个驱动程序:pymysql和mysqlclient。我测试了它们之间的性能，得到的结果是:mysqlclient更快。

下面是我的测试过程(需要安装python lib profilehooks来分析时间流逝:

select * from FOO;

立即在mysql终端执行: set中有46410行(0.10秒)

pymysql (2 . 4s):

from profilehooks import profile
import pymysql.cursors
import pymysql
connection = pymysql.connect(host='localhost', user='root', db='foo')
c = connection.cursor()

@profile(immediate=True)
def read_by_pymysql():
    c.execute("select * from FOO;")
    res = c.fetchall()

read_by_pymysql()

下面是pymysql的配置文件:

mysqlclient 0.4s)

from profilehooks import profile
import MySQLdb

connection = MySQLdb.connect(host='localhost', user='root', db='foo')
c = connection.cursor()

@profile(immediate=True)
def read_by_mysqlclient():
    c.execute("select * from FOO;")
    res = c.fetchall()

read_by_mysqlclient()

下面是mysqlclient的配置文件:

因此，mysqlclient似乎比pymysql快得多

SqlAlchemy

SQLAlchemy是Python SQL工具包和对象关系映射器 为应用程序开发人员提供了SQL的全部功能和灵活性。 SQLAlchemy提供了一个完整的著名企业级套件 持久性模式，为高效和高性能而设计 数据库访问，改编成简单的python域语言。

安装

pip install sqlalchemy

原始查询

from sqlalchemy import create_engine
from sqlalchemy.orm import sessionmaker, scoped_session

engine = create_engine("mysql://<user_name>:<password>@<host_name>/<db_name>")
session_obj = sessionmaker(bind=engine)
session = scoped_session(session_obj)

# insert into database
session.execute("insert into person values(2, 'random_name')")
session.flush()
session.commit()

蠕虫方式

from sqlalchemy import Column, Integer, String
from sqlalchemy.ext.declarative import declarative_base
from sqlalchemy import create_engine
from sqlalchemy.orm import sessionmaker, scoped_session

Base = declarative_base()
engine = create_engine("mysql://<user_name>:<password>@<host_name>/<db_name>")
session_obj = sessionmaker(bind=engine)
session = scoped_session(session_obj)

# Bind the engine to the metadata of the Base class so that the
# declaratives can be accessed through a DBSession instance
Base.metadata.bind = engine

class Person(Base):
    __tablename__ = 'person'
    # Here we define columns for the table person
    # Notice that each column is also a normal Python instance attribute.
    id = Column(Integer, primary_key=True)
    name = Column(String(250), nullable=False)

# insert into database
person_obj = Person(id=12, name="name")
session.add(person_obj)
session.flush()
session.commit()

尝试使用MySQLdb。MySQLdb只支持Python 2。

有一个如何页面在这里:http://www.kitebird.com/articles/pydbapi.html

原文如下:

# server_version.py - retrieve and display database server version

import MySQLdb

conn = MySQLdb.connect (host = "localhost",
                        user = "testuser",
                        passwd = "testpass",
                        db = "test")
cursor = conn.cursor ()
cursor.execute ("SELECT VERSION()")
row = cursor.fetchone ()
print "server version:", row[0]
cursor.close ()
conn.close ()
