SSL Connection Error while using MySQL Connector with Python

Question

I\'m using Python 3.6 (but I get the same error with Python 2.7) and mysql-connector-python in an Anaconda\'s environment to code a simple script to access my database hoste

Answer 1

I had the same issue and resolved it by adding use_pure=True argument based a suggestion here:

import mysql.connector as sql

db_connection = sql.connect(host='****', database='****', user='****', password='****', use_pure=True)

Relevant packages on my mac: mysql-connector-python 8.0.16 and openssl 1.1.1b installed (both anaconda).
