Hi,
I propose to replace mysql-python with mysqlclient in OpenStack applications to
get Python 3 support, bug fixes and some new features (support MariaDB's
libmysqlclient.so, support microsecond in TIME column).
In fact, when looking at the python-mysqldb package description in
Debian, I can see:
Mysqlclient is an interface to the popular MySQL database server for
Python.
.
This is a fork of MySQLdb. It add Python 3.3 support and merges some
pull requests.
Then I saw this:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=768096
The package is currently only in Debian experimental, but I am betting
that "soon", the new python-mysqldb package will be uploaded to Sid, and
it's very likely that Ubuntu will follow (and sync the package from Debian).
As a consequence, I think it'd be much better that OpenStack follows
that and use the same thing as distributions. I of course don't know
what Fedora will do, but maybe they may follow the trend...
Also, I've been using that fork without realizing it, and as much as I
can tell, OpenStack continues to work...
Cheers,
Thomas Goirand (zigo)
