How do I get sqlalchemy.create_engine with mysqlconnector to connect using mysql_native_password?

Question

I\'m working with pandas and sqlalchemy, and would like to load a DataFrame into a MySQL database. I\'m currently using this code snippet:

db_connection = sq

You could use connect_args:

db_connection = sqlalchemy.create_engine(
    'mysql+mysqlconnector://user:pwd@hostname/db_name',
    connect_args={'auth_plugin': 'mysql_native_password'})

or the URL query:

db_connection = sqlalchemy.create_engine(
    'mysql+mysqlconnector://user:pwd@hostname/db_name?auth_plugin=mysql_native_password')
