title: Python3 MySQL Drivers
body: <p>Recently, I switched to Python 3 (3.1 on a FreeBSD system), and i would like to work with MySQL databases.</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>First i tried to use <a href="https://github.com/petehunt/PyMySQL/" rel="nofollow">pymysql3-0.4</a>, but it failed when i used SUM in my query with this error: 
  , TypeError("Cannot convert b'46691486' to Decimal",))</li>
  <li>Then i tried <a href="https://launchpad.net/oursql/py3k" rel="nofollow">oursql-0.9.2</a>, but it seems it has no unix socket support (the documentation write otherwise but it doesn't recognize the socket protocol.)</li>
  <li>Last i decided to give a chance to mypysql-0.5.5 but the installation is failed. </li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Could you recommend me a properly working MySQL driver for Python 3, or at least solve one of these problems? I would be very greatfull.</p>
