I'm developing a web application that needs to interface with a MySQL database, and I can't seem to find any really good modules out there for Python.

I'm specifically looking for fast module, capable of handling hundreds of thousands of connections (and queries, all within a short period of time of each other), without an significant impact on the speed.

I think my answer will be an update to the game field.

There is now the official MysQL Python Connector.

Install:

sudo pip install mysql-connector-python

Or download it from here:
