rgfqeqwer··on Python 2.x vs 3.x use survey
No, there isn't.

CyMySQL and oursql are also viable options.

rgfqeqwer··on Python 2.x vs 3.x use survey
This isn't actually true anymore for many, many things:

- The major scientific/numerical packages support Python 3 (pandas, numpy, scipy).

- The best database library supports Python 3 (SQLAlchemy)

- A substantial fraction of important support libraries support Python 3 (e.g. lxml, PIL/pillow)

- Django supports Python 3

I'm honestly a little confused by people who claim that library support for 3.x "isn't there yet". My entire office has switched to Python 3 for everything.
