mysqlclient provides an interface to MariaDB, MySQL and similar
database servers using the standard Python database API. It is a
fork of MySQLdb1, adding Python 3 support and bug fixes.

It provides low-level bindings for parts of the C client library
(libmariadb) and a higher-level wrapper making this compatible with
the Python DB API interface (version 2). The DB API specification
PEP-249 should be your primary guide for using this module.
