[DB-SIG] ANN: PyMySQL 0.3

[Pete Hunt]

I’m proud to announce the release of PyMySQL 0.3. For those of you
unfamiliar with PyMySQL, it is a pure-Python drop-in replacement for
MySQLdb with an emphasis on compatibility with MySQLdb and for various
Python implementations. I started working on the project due to my
frustrations stemming from getting MySQLdb working on Snow Leopard.
PyMySQL has been tested on CPython 2.3+, Jython, IronPython and PyPy,
and we have an unreleased Python 3.0 branch in Subversion. I encourage
anyone hoping to connect to MySQL from Python to check it out and
report any bugs you might find! Our current focus has been bringing it
up to compatibility with SQLAlchemy and Django, and we have by and
large achieved that goal with a high level of performance.
