Hi All This is my first post here, so I wish it were a little more spectacular.. :-)
I have been working happily with SA 0.6.x on Windows 2003 server with MySQL and the Sun Python Connector. I have an identical config running (and working) on XP. I was testing my code which had been working perfectly, and suddenly started getting this message which I had never seen before; Traceback (most recent call last): File "<pyshell#3>", line 1, in <module> e.connect() File "C:\Python26\lib\site-packages\sqlalchemy\engine\base.py", line 1731, in connect return self.Connection(self, **kwargs) File "C:\Python26\lib\site-packages\sqlalchemy\engine\base.py", line 821, in __init__ self.__connection = connection or engine.raw_connection() File "C:\Python26\lib\site-packages\sqlalchemy\engine\base.py", line 1787, in raw_connection return self.pool.unique_connection() File "C:\Python26\lib\site-packages\sqlalchemy\pool.py", line 135, in unique_connection return _ConnectionFairy(self).checkout() File "C:\Python26\lib\site-packages\sqlalchemy\pool.py", line 329, in __init__ rec = self._connection_record = pool.get() File "C:\Python26\lib\site-packages\sqlalchemy\pool.py", line 177, in get return self.do_get() File "C:\Python26\lib\site-packages\sqlalchemy\pool.py", line 692, in do_get con = self.create_connection() File "C:\Python26\lib\site-packages\sqlalchemy\pool.py", line 138, in create_connection return _ConnectionRecord(self) File "C:\Python26\lib\site-packages\sqlalchemy\pool.py", line 218, in __init__ l.first_connect(self.connection, self) File "C:\Python26\lib\site-packages\sqlalchemy\engine\strategies.py", line 145, in first_connect dialect.initialize(c) File "C:\Python26\lib\site-packages\sqlalchemy\dialects\mysql\base.py", line 1774, in initialize default.DefaultDialect.initialize(self, connection) File "C:\Python26\lib\site-packages\sqlalchemy\engine\default.py", line 144, in initialize self._get_default_schema_name(connection) File "C:\Python26\lib\site-packages\sqlalchemy\dialects\mysql\base.py", line 1739, in _get_default_schema_name return connection.execute('SELECT DATABASE()').scalar() File "C:\Python26\lib\site-packages\sqlalchemy\engine\base.py", line 1157, in execute params) File "C:\Python26\lib\site-packages\sqlalchemy\engine\base.py", line 1252, in _execute_text parameters=parameters) File "C:\Python26\lib\site-packages\sqlalchemy\engine\base.py", line 1348, in __create_execution_context None, None) File "C:\Python26\lib\site-packages\sqlalchemy\engine\base.py", line 1311, in _handle_dbapi_exception self.invalidate(e) File "C:\Python26\lib\site-packages\sqlalchemy\engine\base.py", line 961, in invalidate if self.__connection.is_valid: AttributeError: 'MySQL' object has no attribute 'is_valid' I have spent a significant amount of time on this, and nothing makes sense. I've run the unittest.py code that comes with the connector, and (connecting to the same DB) ran the tests with success. Firstly, it would appear that there is a possible bug in base.py at line 962 where it asks " if self.__connection.is_valid:" as this attribute has not been created yet, and is conditionally created. However, this is not the root of the issue, merely a distraction. (I forced this to exist and have a value, but the problem just fell through to further down the code) I can get this error by simply doing this (now) when this all has worked for days. e = create_engine('mysql+mysqlconnector://user:passw...@127.0.0.1/testdb', encoding='utf8', echo=False) e.connect() Any clues - as this is driving me nuts! Can't do ANYTHING now because I an no longer connect to the DB. DB manager and other tools all show MySQL happily ticking along. I have rebooted the server. As a possible solution, are there any other stable MySQL connectors out there that are easy to install on a Windows platform? The Python Connector one chosen has been good so far, but if that turns out to be the issue - it's gone!
