PyMySQL can't connect to MySQL on localhost

Question

I\'m trying to connect to MySQL on localhost using PyMySQL:

import pymysql
conn = pymysql.connect(db=\'base\', user=\'         


        

Answer 1

I asked why socket worked but not TCP and the answer was that bind-address in /etc/my.cnf was not set correctly. This could be your problem too since the socket methods works just fine but the TCP one does not.
