MySQL Connector/Python 1.0.12 has been released

[Santosh Pagare]

Dear MySQL users,

MySQL Connector/Python v1.0.12 is a new version of the 1.0 production
release of the pure Python database driver for MySQL.

MySQL Connector/Python version 1.0 is compatible with MySQL Server
versions 5.5 and greater, but should work with earlier versions
(greater than v4.1). Python v2.6 and greater as well as Python v3.1
and greater are supported. Python v2.4 and v2.5 are known to work,
but are not officially supported.

On Microsoft Windows, the preferred method of downloading and
installing Connector/Python is via the MySQL Windows Installer which
can be found at:
http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/installer/

below. Please check the ChangeLog file inside the distribution for a

Changes in MySQL Connector/Python 1.0.12 (2013-07-24)
--------------------------------------------------------------------

   Bugs Fixed

     * Following fetchone() or fetchmany(), the result returned by
       fetchall() was missing one row. (Bug #17041412)

     * LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE failed for files approximately 14MB or
       larger. (Bug #17002411)

     * The fetchall() methods for buffered cursors were returning all
       rows after fetchone() or fetchmany() were used. fetchall() now
       correctly returns all or remaining, just like the nonbuffered
       cursors. (Bug #16662920)

     * Python 2.6 and 2.7 raised a UnicodeDecodeError when
       unicode_literals was used and a database name contained
       nonlatin Unicode characters. (Bug #16655208)

     * An unclear OperationalError was raised if a cursor object was
       closed while there were unread results. Connector/Python now
       raises an InternalError indicating that there are still unread
       results. This provides information that to avoid the error it
       is necessary to consume the result by reading all rows. (Bug
       #67649, Bug #17041240)

     * The MySQLCursor.executemany() method raised an exception
       when a SQL function was used as a column value when executing
       an INSERT statement. (Bug #69675, Bug #17065366)
