PyMySQL
=======
.. contents:: Table of Contents
:local:
This package contains a pure-Python MySQL client library, based on `PEP 249`_.
Most public APIs are compatible with mysqlclient and MySQLdb.
NOTE: PyMySQL doesn't support low level APIs `_mysql` provides like `data_seek`,
`store_result`, and `use_result`. You should use high level APIs defined in `PEP 249`_.
But some APIs like `autocommit` and `ping` are supported because `PEP 249`_ doesn't cover
their usecase.
.. _`PEP 249`: https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0249/
Requirements
-------------
* Python -- one of the following:
- CPython_ : 2.7 and >= 3.5
- PyPy_ : Latest version
* MySQL Server -- one of the following:
- MySQL_ >= 5.5
- MariaDB_ >= 5.5
.. _CPython: https://www.python.org/
.. _PyPy: https://pypy.org/
.. _MySQL: https://www.mysql.com/
.. _MariaDB: https://mariadb.org/
Installation
------------
Package is uploaded on `PyPI <https://pypi.org/project/PyMySQL>`_.
You can install it with pip::
$ python3 -m pip install PyMySQL
To use "sha256_password" or "caching_sha2_password" for authenticate,
you need to install additional dependency::
$ python3 -m pip install PyMySQL[rsa]
Documentation
-------------
Documentation is available online: https://pymysql.readthedocs.io/
For support, please refer to the `StackOverflow
<https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/pymysql>`_.
Example
-------
The following examples make use of a simple table
.. code:: sql
CREATE TABLE `users` (
`id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`email` varchar(255) COLLATE utf8_bin NOT NULL,
`password` varchar(255) COLLATE utf8_bin NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 COLLATE=utf8_bin
AUTO_INCREMENT=1 ;
.. code:: python
import pymysql.cursors
# Connect to the database
connection = pymysql.connect(host='localhost',
user='user',
password='passwd',
db='db',
charset='utf8mb4',
cursorclass=pymysql.cursors.DictCursor)
try:
with connection.cursor() as cursor:
# Create a new record
sql = "INSERT INTO `users` (`email`, `password`) VALUES (%s, %s)"
cursor.execute(sql, ('webmaster@python.org', 'very-secret'))
# connection is not autocommit by default. So you must commit to save
# your changes.
connection.commit()
with connection.cursor() as cursor:
# Read a single record
sql = "SELECT `id`, `password` FROM `users` WHERE `email`=%s"
cursor.execute(sql, ('webmaster@python.org',))
result = cursor.fetchone()
print(result)
finally:
connection.close()
This example will print:
.. code:: python
{'password': 'very-secret', 'id': 1}
