Replying to an old thread but the last time I checked, MySQL offers connection pooling as part of its drivers.

You can check them out at :

https://dev.mysql.com/doc/connector-python/en/connector-python-connection-pooling.html

From TFA, Assuming you want to open a connection pool explicitly (as OP had stated):

dbconfig = {  "database": "test", "user":"joe" }
cnxpool = mysql.connector.pooling.MySQLConnectionPool(pool_name = "mypool",pool_size = 3, **dbconfig)

This pool is then accessed by requesting from the pool through the get_connection() function.

cnx1 = cnxpool.get_connection()
cnx2 = cnxpool.get_connection()
