Question

Getting connection error in PyMYSQL:

Error

conn = pymysql.connect(host='127.0.0.1', port=3306, user='root', passwd='', db='pymysql')
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'connect'

code

import pymysql

conn = pymysql.connect(host='127.0.0.1', port=3306, user='root', passwd='', db='pymysql')

cur = conn.cursor()

cur.execute("SELECT Host,User FROM user")

print(cur.description)

print()

for row in cur:
   print(row)

cur.close()
conn.close()

Answer 1

Use capital 'C' in pymysql.Connect.

conn = pymysql.Connect(host='127.0.0.1', port=3306, user='root', passwd='', db='pymysql')

The above statement should work. It worked for me!

Answer 2

You've called some other module "pymysql". Look for a file named "pymysql.py" and rename it, and remove any associated .pyc file.
