If this library solves real bugs and provides Python 3 compatibility, I think it's worth to replace MySQL-python with this new library. Linux distro can package it, they can probably copy the packaging of MySQL-Python since it's a fork.<br>
<br>
Note: mysqlclient-python conflicts with MySQL-Python, both libraries use the same "MySQLdb" Python module. The good news is that mysqlclient-python is a drop-in library for MySQL-Python: no need to change any line of code, only modify requirements.<br>
<br>
@Naoki: Did you try to contact MySQL-Python authors to take over their project instead of forking?<br>
