title: is PyMySQL well supported? and is it slower than than MySQLdb?
body: <p>I'm building a python3 app which requires high-speed connections. Being a pure python library, will PyMySQL be significantly slower than the C based MySQLdb in connecting and executive queries?</p>
  
  <p>Is PyMySQL well supported for future versions of python?</p>
  
  <p>If not, can anyone suggest a reliable alternative?</p>
