MySQL Connector/Python Developer Guide
Connector/Python RPM packages (.rpm files)
are available from the
Connector/Python
download site.
You can verify the integrity and authenticity of the RPM packages before installing them. To learn more, see Verifying Package Integrity Using MD5 Checksums or GnuPG.
For installing X DevAPI only:Because
the required python3-protobuf RPM
package is not available for Python 3.8 on the RedHat
Enterprise Linux and Oracle Linux platforms, it has to be
manually installed with, for example, pip install
protobuf. This is required for Connector/Python
8.0.29 or later.
The mysql-community-client-plugins
package is required for using robust authentication
methods like caching_sha2_password,
which is the default authentication method for MySQL 8.0
and later.
$ rpm -i mysql-community-client-plugins-ver.distro.architecture.rpm
To install Connector/Python using the downloaded RPM packages:
$ rpm -i mysql-connector-python-ver.distro.architecture.rpm # Optionally, install X DevAPI $ rpm -i mysqlx-connector-python-ver.distro.architecture.rpm
