"Pure Python" MySQL module like Net::MySQL

[Ravi]

Hi,

I did some googling, and found that there doesn't seem to be a pure
python MySQL communication module. There is one for perl however,
Net::MySQL. I was wondering if there was a specific reason why something
similar hasn't been implemented in Python, a limitation of the language
or libraries perhaps? I briefly scanned through the perl source for
Net::MySQL, and there doesn't seem to be anything that couldn't be done
in Python, but I'm a fresh convert from perl land and I don't much
beyond the basics of Python yet.

Thanks,
Ravi

I think there's a MySQLdb package for Python that might fulfill
your needs.

Does it implement the MySQL wire protocol in pure Perl, without linking
to libmysql? Sure that's possible in Python.

Nobody needed it badly enough.

No.

Is there any particular reason why you'd need such a beast instead of
just using MySQLdb?

I'm developing for cell phones/PDA's using Jython, because Java is
available. Yet, a proper C compiler is not, so libmysql cannot be
compiled. I will see if I can put a wrapper on the Java MySQL connector
to make it accessible in Jython.

Thanks for your help,

Ravi

No need for that, just download zxJDBC :)
