I used this one from Oracle and it was OK for simple test case and 
supports from 2.6 till 3.3:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/connector-python/en/index.html
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/mysql-connector-python/1.1.5


yet there is page to bunch of others but i have never tried them:
https://wiki.python.org/moin/MySQL

Are there hidden issues about Oracle provided connector?
