Storm and oursql/MySQL Connector

Hello list,

Does the Storm ORM plan to support the oursql
<https://launchpad.net/oursql> driver or the MySQL Connector
<https://launchpad.net/myconnpy> driver in the future?

I sense that the MySQLdb package is generally being reconsidered as the
best option for MySQL connectivity. (These new bindings are threadsafe
and provide 'real parameterization')

What thoughts do the developers have on this? Sorry if it's already been
brought up.

I don't think there has been any discussion about adopting either of
those drivers.  Although if MySQLdb falls out of favour as the
preferred adapter, I'm sure we would follow suit.

Are there particular benefits from making a switch?  Are either of
those adapters seeing much adoption elsewhere?  And if so, is one
winning over the other?

James.
