It captures INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE operations with their full row data and original SQL queries, making it possible to react to database changes as they happen.\n\nThe library is designed for building change data capture pipelines\u2014feeding database changes into NoSQL systems, search engines, caches, analytics platforms, or audit logs. It works with MySQL 5.5 through 8.0.14 and MariaDB 10.6, and has been used in production by medium-scale internet companies. Configuration requires enabling binary logging on the MySQL server and setting specific binlog parameters; once set up, the library handles the protocol details transparently.","worth_installing":"Yes. The package is actively maintained, has low install friction, carries a permissive license, and fills a clear niche in MySQL change capture. It is production-tested and widely adopted for CDC pipelines. Install it if you need to react to MySQL changes in real time; skip it if your use case does not require streaming binary log events or if you are not using MySQL."},"id":"mysql-replication","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/mysql-replication","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/mysql-replication.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/mysql-replication/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-08-06","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"mysql-replication","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Pure Python Implementation of MySQL replication protocol build on top of PyMYSQL."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":453572,"position":6576,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.0.17"}
