Comment (by sleroux):
At this time, the official MYSQLdb development has stalled.
There are several forks available on git-hub in order to port that library
for Python 3:
* https://github.com/davispuh/MySQL-for-Python-3
* https://github.com/clelland/MySQL-for-Python-3
* ...
'''At first sight''', those ports seem to work with django-1.6 (master
dev) -- with the minor modification of removing the ''use_unicode''
connection param. This modification was already available there:
https://github.com/vsajip/django/blob/django3/django/db/backends/mysql/base.py#L386
'''however''' some sources state that there is a ''bunch of issues [...]
in non-ascii environment'':
http://python.6.n6.nabble.com/MySQL-
Django-1-6-Python3-tt5009591.html#a5009904
As of myself, I've done some (very basic) preliminary tests using clelland
/MySQL-for-Python-3 alone: Inserting and retrieving data containing non-
ASCII characters (é, à, ç, è) appears to work. By examining the output of
mysqldump, strings have been correctly encoded at DB level. I performed my
tests using both utf8 and latin1 as DB charset. Maybe there is some
problems with the integration of both "Django 1.6" and "MySQL for Python
3"?
So, if someone could post here some data/link to the possible issues with
MySQL-for-Python-3 & Django, that would help things in order ''not'' to
drop MySQL support in Python 3 environment.
