To connect Python and MySQL, you can use the mysql.connector
module. This module provides an API which can be used to connect to a MySQL database.
import mysql.connector
# Connect to the database
conn = mysql.connector.connect(
host="localhost",
user="user",
passwd="password",
database="mydatabase"
)
# Print the connection object
print(conn)
<mysql.connector.connection_cext.CMySQLConnection object at 0x7f3c3f8f7e10>
The code above does the following:
- Imports the
mysql.connector
module. - Connects to the database using the
connect
method. This requires passing in the host, user, password, and database name as parameters. - Prints out the connection object.
