Dear fellow Fedorans,

It seems that python-mysqlclient will now transparently upgrade python-
mysql since 2.1.1-2 (for Fedora):
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/python-mysqlclient/c/1da9400c1c9c8eb8b044f6976e1a07f06226ed3e?branch=rawhide
and 1.4.6-6 (EPEL 8)
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/python-mysqlclient/c/cc24faae44f40898ba87e93f9dfefbc9a7fb09e1?branch=epel8

(python-mysql was never in EPEL9)

The two upstreams are the same (python-mysql points to
https://github.com/PyMySQL/mysqlclient-python but that just redirects
to https://github.com/PyMySQL/mysqlclient)

However it seems that python-mysql itself is not retired -- should it?
Seems like there's no release in which trying to install it won't just
install python-mysqlclient instead anyway.

Yes, that was the plan. See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1929101
 
The maintainers don't seem to overlap:
- python-mysql maintained by mschorm and hobbes1069
- python-mysqlclient maintained by fab

(the changes to make mysqlclient obsolete mysql are made by non-
maintainers)

Best regards,
