It&#x27;s because Python tends to be the most common programming language for startups due to being easy to hire for, having good library support for a wide range of use cases, being good for web development, etc. And MySQL is focused on catering to enterprise customers who don&#x27;t use Python. The last time I heard, they had something like one person working part time on Python support, so the drivers weren&#x27;t nearly as reliable as the Postgres tooling.
