Hi ,

Iam trying to use

from sqlalchemy.engine.url import URL 
myDB = URL(drivername='mysql', host='localhost', 
database='my_database_name', 
  query={ 'read_default_file' : '/path/to/.my.cnf' } ) 
engine = create_engine(name_or_url=
>
> myDB) 

but it is not working form me. The error I am getting is 
sqlalchemy.exc.OperationalError: (OperationalError) (1045, "Access denied 
for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)") None None

This is occurring because SQLALCHEMY is not reading password from .my conf 
file.
It is working fine if I give username and password as URL argument. The 
my.conf file is
also correct which is working if pass it to mysql shell command.

Any comment on how to make SQLALCHEMY/MYSQL read password from file.

Thanks
Balaji
