It reuses most of PyMySQL's implementation but replaces blocking I/O calls with async equivalents, allowing you to query MySQL or MariaDB without blocking your event loop. The package maintains API compatibility with PyMySQL\u2014you simply await method calls instead of calling them synchronously\u2014and includes optional SQLAlchemy integration for ORM users.\n\nThe package is designed for applications that need to handle many concurrent database connections efficiently, such as web services or async data pipelines. It supports connection pooling, SSL connections, multiple authentication methods including sha256_password and caching_sha2_password, and both standard and server-side cursors. Python 3.7+ is required.","worth_installing":"Yes, with conditions. The package is stable and has no known vulnerabilities, with permissive MIT licensing. However, the 381-day gap since the last release and aging maintenance status suggest it may not receive prompt updates for new MySQL/MariaDB features or Python versions. Install it if you need async MySQL access in an asyncio application and are comfortable with a package that updates infrequently; avoid it if you require active, rapid maintenance or cutting-edge compatibility."},"id":"hopsworks-aiomysql","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/hopsworks-aiomysql","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/hopsworks-aiomysql.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/hopsworks-aiomysql/"},"maintenance":{"status":"aging"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2025-07-29","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"hopsworks-aiomysql","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"MySQL driver for asyncio."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":137797,"position":11355,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.2.2"}
