Yes, and it's also what Django people recommend:

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.7/ref/databases/#mysql-db-api-drivers

As for mysqldb and Python3, the only way is to use a Python 3 fork such
as this one:
https://github.com/clelland/MySQL-for-Python-3

I wouldn't like using different versions of Python modules depending on
the Python version, and therefore, python-mysql.connector /
python3-mysql.connector would be preferred.

However, it'd be nice if *all* projects could switch to that, and not
just Neutron, otherwise, we'd be just adding a new dependency, which
isn't great.

Also, about eventlet, there's been long threads about switching to
something else like asyncio. Wouldn't it be time to also do that (at the
same time)?
