The 0.6.7-2 version was originally created for el7, that's why I didn't intent to push in Fedora at first. Nevertheless, I just tried it, but I don't seem to be able to do it:

> fedora.client.bodhi.BodhiClientException: Invalid tag: python-PyMySQL-0.6.7-2.fc22 tagged with [u'epel7-testing-candidate', u'dist-6E-epel-testing-candidate', u'dist-5E-epel-testing-candidate', u'f22-updates-candidate', u'f23-updates-candidate', u'f21-updates-candidate']

> Could not generate update request: Command 'bodhi --new --release f22 --file bodhi.template python-PyMySQL-0.6.7-2.fc22 --username jujens' returned non-zero exit status 1

According to the changelog, there's nothing interesting for fedora.

* Wed Nov  4 2015 Haïkel Guémar <> - 0.6.7-2
- Drop unnecessary mariadb requirement
- Add python3 conditionals in order to rebuild it in EL7

So, I'd like to leave it there if it's OK for you. If you really need the update, I can dig more into it and maybe do a new build in order to push it. Keep me posted.

I think the mariadb version of /usr/bin/mysql can't connect to a mysql account with expired flag set, mixing community-mysql, community-mysql-sever and python-PyMySQL is then not possible.

No good idea about the bodhi ussue, maybe try the web gui?

I have the same problem with the web gui.

> I think the mariadb version of /usr/bin/mysql can't connect to a mysql account with expired flag set, mixing community-mysql, community-mysql-sever and python-PyMySQL is then not possible.

I fail to see if this is a problem with the package or PyMySQL itself. Do you mean that it would work better without the requirement on mariadb?

Ok.

Let me try to explain:

$ rpm -q mariadb community-mysql-server
mariadb-10.0.21-1.fc23.x86_64
community-mysql-server-5.6.27-1.fc23.x86_64

$ /usr/bin/mysql_install_db  --datadir=/var/lib/mysql --user=mysql --random-passwords

$ service mysqld start

$ cat .mysql_secret

$ mysql -uroot -p

However, now it's not possible to install python-PyMySQL:

$ dnf install python-PyMySQL
Last metadata expiration check performed 0:38:38 ago on Mon Jan  4 19:07:34 2016.
Error: package python2-PyMySQL-0.6.6-4.fc23.noarch requires mariadb, but none of the providers can be installed.

OK, got it. Working on an update to drop Requires: mariadb.

Great, thanks!
