  • MariaDB >= 10.0

Package is uploaded on PyPI.

You can install it with pip:

$ python3 -m pip install PyMySQL 

To use "sha256_password" or "caching_sha2_password" for authenticate, you need to install additional dependency:

$ python3 -m pip install PyMySQL[rsa] 

To use MariaDB's "ed25519" authentication method, you need to install additional dependency:

$ python3 -m pip install PyMySQL[ed25519] 

Documentation is available online: https://pymysql.readthedocs.io/

For support, please refer to the StackOverflow.

The following examples make use of a simple table

CREATE TABLE `users` ( `id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, `email` varchar(255) COLLATE utf8_bin NOT NULL, `password` varchar(255) COLLATE utf8_bin NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (`id`) ) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8mb4 COLLATE=utf8mb4_bin AUTO_INCREMENT=1 ;

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

This example will print:

{'password': 'very-secret', 'id': 1}
