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 ()

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()

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()

对于python 3.3

CyMySQL https://github.com/nakagami/CyMySQL

我在windows 7上安装了pip，只是 安装cymysql

(你不需要cython) 快速无痛

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 

再来看看Storm。它是一个简单的SQL映射工具，允许您轻松地编辑和创建SQL条目，而无需编写查询。

这里有一个简单的例子:

from storm.locals import *

# User will be the mapped object; you have to create the table before mapping it
class User(object):
        __storm_table__ = "user" # table name
        ID = Int(primary=True) #field ID
        name= Unicode() # field name

database = create_database("mysql://root:password@localhost:3306/databaseName")
store = Store(database)

user = User()
user.name = u"Mark"

print str(user.ID) # None

store.add(user)  
store.flush() # ID is AUTO_INCREMENT

print str(user.ID) # 1 (ID)

store.commit() # commit all changes to the database

查找和使用对象:

michael = store.find(User, User.name == u"Michael").one()
print str(user.ID) # 10

用主键查找:

print store.get(User, 1).name #Mark
