How to connect with passwords that contains characters like “$” or “@”?

Question

I cannot get a connection to a MySQL database if my password contains punctuation characters in particular $ or @ . I have tried to escape the characters, by doubling the $$ etc. but no joy.

I have tried the pymysql library and the _mssql library.

the code... self.dbConn = _mysql.connect(host=self.dbDetails['site'], port=self.dbDetails['port'], user=self.dbDetails['user'], passwd=self.dbDetails['passwd'], db=self.dbDetails['db'])

where self.dbDetails['passwd'] = "$abcdef".

I have tried '$$abcdef', and re.escape(self.dbDetails['passwd']), and '\\$abcdef' but nothing works until I change the users password to remove the "$". Then it connects just fine. The only error I am getting is a failure to connect. I guess I will have to figure out how to print the actual exception message.

尝试使用MySQLdb程序包，您可以通过该程序包中的标点密码来连接数据库。
