Strictly speaking, the package has no "dependency" on python-mysqldb, only<br>
a "suggests". It can be used with other database drivers as well.<br>
<br>
While I understand your reasoning, I believe that this change must happen<br>
at the upstream level first. Debian has no similar restriction and I thus<br>
don't see the need to diverge from upstream on this specific point.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Fair enough and I agree to getting this change upstream.

Jeremy, alternatively, you could possibly create a<br>
python-pymsql-as-mysqldb that would "Provide: python-mysqldb" and would<br>
contain the corresponding Python package but built on top of<br>
python-pymysql (and would conflict with python-mysqldb). That might be<br>
something upstreamable in pymysql or in the Debian package of<br>
python-pymysql.<br>
<br>
I see that many Openstack packages in Debian depend on both<br>
python-mysqldb and python-pymysql. I guess in Ubuntu they depend only in<br>
python-pymysql? Is the difference explained by this Django patch only?</blockquote><div><br></div><div>Upstream OpenStack hasn't completed moved away from python-mysqldb yet.
