What mysql lib would you recommend?

I'm doing a `pip install https://dev.mysql.com/get/Downloads/Connector-Python/mysql-c... on older centos boxes. Because I found `pip install mysql-connector-python` seems to fail on older boxes.

I also wonder if I should not start to look at SQLAlchemy. Not so much the ORM. But rather the simple DBAPI[0] interface.

I'm already using Postgres FDW to integrate PostGIS into our mysql dbs. So I am going to drag a Postgres python lib around in the near future, any recommendations.

PS: I Believe I just convinced myself, to go invest some time into learning SQLAlchemy.
