首先安装驱动程序

pip install MySQL-python   

然后一个基本代码是这样的:

#!/usr/bin/python
import MySQLdb

try:
    db = MySQLdb.connect(host="localhost",      # db server, can be a remote one 
                     db="mydb"                  # database
                     user="mydb",               # username
                     passwd="mydb123",          # password for this username
                     )        

    # Create a Cursor object
    cur = db.cursor()

    # Create a query string. It can contain variables
    query_string = "SELECT * FROM MY_TABLE"

    # Execute the query
    cur.execute(query_string)

    # Get all the rows present the database
    for each_row in cur.fetchall():
        print each_row

    # Close the connection
    db.close()
except Exception, e:
    print 'Error ', e 

Oracle (MySQL)现在支持纯Python连接器。这意味着不需要安装二进制文件:它只是一个Python库。它叫做“连接器/Python”。

安装完成后，您可以在这里看到一些使用示例

Mysqlclient是最好的，因为其他的只支持特定版本的python

 pip install mysqlclient

示例代码

    import mysql.connector
    import _mysql
    db=_mysql.connect("127.0.0.1","root","umer","sys")
    #db=_mysql.connect(host,user,password,db)
    # Example of how to insert new values:
    db.query("""INSERT INTO table1 VALUES ('01', 'myname')""")
    db.store_result()
    db.query("SELECT * FROM new1.table1 ;") 
    #new1 is scheme table1 is table mysql 
    res= db.store_result()
    for i in range(res.num_rows()):
        print(result.fetch_row())

参见https://github.com/PyMySQL/mysqlclient-python

这里有一种方法，使用MySQLdb，它只支持Python 2:

#!/usr/bin/python
import MySQLdb

# Connect
db = MySQLdb.connect(host="localhost",
                     user="appuser",
                     passwd="",
                     db="onco")

cursor = db.cursor()

# Execute SQL select statement
cursor.execute("SELECT * FROM location")

# Commit your changes if writing
# In this case, we are only reading data
# db.commit()

# Get the number of rows in the resultset
numrows = cursor.rowcount

# Get and display one row at a time
for x in range(0, numrows):
    row = cursor.fetchone()
    print row[0], "-->", row[1]

# Close the connection
db.close()

参考这里

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

如果你不需要MySQLdb，但愿意接受任何库，我非常非常推荐MySQL连接器/Python从MySQL: http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/python/。

它是一个包(大约110k)，纯Python，所以它与系统无关，安装非常简单。你只需要下载，双击，确认许可协议就可以了。不需要Xcode, MacPorts，编译，重新启动…

然后你可以这样联系:

import mysql.connector    
cnx = mysql.connector.connect(user='scott', password='tiger',
                              host='127.0.0.1',
                              database='employees')

try:
   cursor = cnx.cursor()
   cursor.execute("""
      select 3 from your_table
   """)
   result = cursor.fetchall()
   print result
finally:
    cnx.close()
