How to fetch data from SQL query in Python

Question

Good Afternoon, I wrote a query in MySQL, and I want to execute the same query in Python. The Code I wrote as Follows. 1.

import mysql.connector
from mysql.connector import Error


try:
connection = mysql.connector.connect(host='localhost',
                                      database='AdventureWorks2012',
                                      user='root',
                                      password='r@#*****')

sql_select_Query = "select * from Person.person"
    cursor = connection.cursor()
    cursor.execute(sql_select_Query)
    records = cursor.fetchall()

However, I'm getting following error message while running part two- ''File "", line 5 password='r@#*****') ^ SyntaxError: unexpected EOF while parsing''

Any suggestion please how to overcome this problem?

You are missing the except clause:

try:
    connection = mysql.connector.connect(host='localhost',
                                      database='AdventureWorks2012',
                                      user='root',
                                      password='r@#*****')
except Exception as e:
    print(e)
