This is a [***beta***](/docs/release-notes/community-server/about/release-criteria.md) release of MariaDB Connector/Python and not intended for production use.

{% endhint %}

**For a description of this library see the** [**MariaDB Connector/Python documentation**](https://mariadb-corporation.github.io/mariadb-connector-python/index.html) **.**

MariaDB Connector/Python enables python programs to access MariaDB and MySQL databases, using an API which is compliant with the Python DB API 2.0 (PEP-249). It is written in C and uses MariaDB Connector/C client library for client server communication.

## Notable changes

* [CONPY-162](https://jira.mariadb.org/browse/CONPY-162): Added attributes for obtaining version of MariaDB Connector/C library:
  * mariadb.client\_version returns an integer, describing the version in the following format: MAJOR\_VERSION \* 10000 + MINOR\_VERSION \* 1000 + PATCH\_VERSION
  * mariadb\_client\_version\_info returns client version in tuple format

## Bug fixes

* [CONPY-159](https://jira.mariadb.org/browse/CONPY-159): Parse integer instead of short integer when retrieving server status
* [CONPY-160](https://jira.mariadb.org/browse/CONPY-160): ConnectionPool.get\_connection might return None due to low precision of time.monotonic()
* [CONPY-161](https://jira.mariadb.org/browse/CONPY-161): ConnectionPool.connection\_count returns list of connections instead of a numeric value

## Installation

MariaDB Connector/Python 1.1.0-beta1 can be obtained from central python repository:

```
