Use mysql-connector-python  I prefer to install it with pip from PyPI   pip install --allow-external mysql-connector-python mysql-connector-python   Have a look at its documentation and examples   If you are going to use pooling make sure your database has enough connections available as the default settings may not be enough

MySQLdb does not support Python 3 but it is not the only MySQL driver for Python   mysqlclient is essentially just a fork of MySQLdb with Python 3 support merged in  and a few other improvements    PyMySQL is a pure python MySQL driver  which means it is slower  but it does not require a compiled C component or MySQL libraries and header files to be installed on client machines  It has Python 3 support   Another option is simply to use another database system like PostgreSQL

It seems that at the moment Ubuntu 15 10 has a but with python3 and pip3   As elaborated in this article   The problem makes pip3 install to python3 5 while python3 is actually running python3 4     Until a proper solution will be available via the updates you can do one of the following   run  python3 -m pip install pymysql   instead of  pip3 install pymysql    or any other package   Now   import pymysql   should work in python3 and in idle3   Alternatively  if you explicitly need 3 5 you can use explicit python3 5 instead of python3  but idle3 will still point to 3 4
