What are my options for MySQL schema discovery? I want to be able to find all the tables in a database, and discover the names and types of each column (i.e. the standard schema discovery stuff).
PEP 249 doesn't seem to have any discovery methods. Nor does MySQLdb appear to have any non-standard extentions for this. I could probably do this with SQLAlchemy, but I'm trying to avoid that because it's so heavyweight. Is there anything else I should be considering? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
