给Python中的MySQLdb模块添加超时功能的教程

使用Python操作MySQL数据库的时候常使用MySQLdb这个模块。

今天在开发的过程发现MySQLdb.connect有些参数没法设置。通过这个页面我们可以看到在connect的时候，可以设置的option和client_flags和MySQL c api相比差不少。

一个很重要的参数 MYSQL_OPT_READ_TIMEOUT没法设置，这个参数如果不设置，极致状况MySQL处于hang住，自动切换IP漂移，客户端无法重连到新MySQL。

给MySQLdb加Option很简单，只要修改_mysql.c这个把Python对象映射到MySQL操作的文件，添加参数，再加一段mysql_option即可。

下面是修改后的git diff 文件

代码修改完毕，python setup.py install 即可，如果出现mysql_config找不到的问题。你还要修改setup_posix.py文件。

hoterran@hoterran-laptop:~/Projects/MySQL-python-1.2.3$ git diff setup_posix.py
diff --git a/setup_posix.py b/setup_posix.py
index 86432f5..f4f08f1 100644

编译通过，我们来试试添加的read_timeout这个参数。

conn = MySQLdb.connect(host = DB_SERVER,user = DB_USERNAME,passwd = DB_PASSWORD,db = DB_NAME, port=int(DB_PORT), client_flag = 2, read_timeout = 10)

然后执行语句前，你试着把mysql用gdb hang住10s后，python就会异常抛错
