pymydb-client

Pure-Python client for MyDB, a relational database engine with a custom binary wire protocol served by its mydbd daemon. No third-party dependencies (just socket, hashlib, struct, getpass from the standard library); compatible with Python 2.7 through 3.x.

It reimplements the same challenge-response auth and framing the C mydb CLI uses, so it can talk to mydbd over either a Unix domain socket or TCP.

Install

pip install pymydb-client

Usage

from pymydb_client import connect

# Over TCP (mydbd's default TCP listener, 0.0.0.0:4442)
conn = connect(host="127.0.0.1", port=4442, user="root", password="yourpass")


print(conn.query("SHOW DATABASES;"))
conn.close()

Context manager form:

with connect(host="127.0.0.1", port=4442, user="root", password="yourpass") as conn:
    print(conn.query("SELECT id, name FROM users;"))

query(sql) returns the same formatted text a SQL client would print (a table for SELECT, or an OK/error message) — the wire protocol carries plain text, not structured rows.

Omit password to be prompted interactively via getpass. Connect/auth/query failures raise pymydb_client.MyDBError.
