Python is one of the most preferred language of data scientists (according to kdnuggets). Before we dive deeper with machine learning and visualization packages lets explore the basics of relational database management using Python.
So there are few packages using which we can execute sql queries from python program. I guess the most widely used packages are MySQLdb and PyMySQL. The difference is in the implementation where MySQLdb is a C extension and PyMySQL is pure Python. However is terms of functionality both are almost same. However if you are on Mac then you might like to prefer PyMySQL as the MySQLdb might give some compiler issues.
