'MySQLdb' is a third-party driver that provides MySQL support for Python, compliant with the Python DB API version 2.0. It can be found at http://sourceforge.net/projects/mysql-python/.
The new MySQL Connector/Python component provides an interface to the same Python API, and is built into the MySQL Server and supported by Oracle. See MySQL Connector/Python Developer Guide (https://dev.mysql.com/doc/connector-python/en/) for details on the Connector, as well as coding guidelines for Python applications and sample Python code.
