It reuses PyMySQL's connection logic and SQL parsing but replaces all blocking I/O calls with async equivalents, so you can use `await` and `async with` to manage connections, cursors, and queries. The API mirrors PyMySQL closely, making it familiar if you've used that library, and it includes optional SQLAlchemy integration ported from aiopg for ORM-style queries.\n\nYou create a connection pool with `create_pool()`, acquire connections from it, and execute queries through cursors\u2014all with `await`. It supports both raw SQL and SQLAlchemy table operations, and works across Python 3.9 through 3.13. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, and carries an MIT license.","worth_installing":"Yes. aiomysql is a straightforward, low-friction async MySQL driver with active maintenance, no security issues, permissive licensing, and broad Python version support. Install it if you need non-blocking MySQL access in an asyncio application; the single dependency (PyMySQL) and pure-Python wheel keep setup simple."},"id":"aiomysql","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/aiomysql","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/aiomysql.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/aiomysql/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2025-10-22","license_spdx":"MIT","license_treatment":"permissive","name":"aiomysql","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"MySQL driver for asyncio."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":16758493,"position":1140,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.3.2"}
