Hmm wouldn't that solve also the oursql problem in T75704?

Hmm wouldn't that solve also the oursql problem in T75704?

Yes it would. I've seen a few py3 packages which provide an almost identical API to oursql, etc.

How will we test this. The MySQL generator needs a mysql database with a MediaWiki table structure.
Maybe there is a fake MYSQL database that can be used for testing.

Note that pywikibot now defaults to use PyMySQL which is the pure python module and defaults to it. That has been the case since October 2018.

I have send a couple patches to clean up the code of mentions to oursql and remove support for MySQLdb has a fall back.

Oursql was not needed anymore, but I would leave MySQLdb fallback perhaps.
