====== Use Python 3.4 + MySQL Connector on Debian 7 Wheezy ======

Debian 7 Wheezy ships with Python 3.2 (a bit outdated) and mysql-connector-python 2.0 works only with Python 3.3 o later versions. However, you can setup your own Python 3.4 virtual environment and run your script inside it (main source: extellisys.com [1])

The necessary libs to build the optional modules can be istalled with
  sudo apt-get install build-essential libncurses5-dev libncursesw5-dev libreadline6-dev libgdbm-dev libsqlite3-dev liblzma-dev libbz2-dev tk-dev zlib1g-dev libssl-dev
  
May be you would also need (are they really needed? to be confirmed)
  sudo apt-get install libdb5.1-dev libexpat1-dev 

Now compile and install Python with 
  cd /tmp
  wget https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.4.2/Python-3.4.2.tar.xz  
  tar -xf Python-3.4.2.tar.xz
  cd Python-3.4.2
  ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/opt/python-3.4.2
  make
  sudo make install
  cd /tmp
  sudo rm -rf Python-3.4.2

Setup a Virtual Environment for you project
  cd ~/myproject/
  /usr/local/opt/python-3.4.1/bin/pyvenv virtualenv-3.4.2

Install ''mysql-connector-python'' 2.0 from source
  source virtualenv-3.4.2/bin/activate
  pip3.4 install http://dev.mysql.com/get/Downloads/Connector-Python/mysql-connector-python-2.0.2.tar.gz

Run your python3 project with
  source virtualenv-3.4.2/bin/activate
  python3 myproject.py
