Stuck with a MySQLdb SSL connection error in Python2.7

I have to maintain an old website built using Python2.7 that needs to continue working until we've finished creating a completely new version with more modern tools. Now this old website needs access to a remote MySQL database (connection is set up and working correctly), which so far has worked using the following:
import MySQLdb
db = MySQLdb.connect(host=Host,user=User,passwd=Pass,db=DBse)
Now the server has been upgraded from Ubuntu 18.04. to Ubuntu 20.04., and while I managed to install pip and MySQLdb for Python2.7, I now get the following error for the lines above:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/MySQLdb/__init__.py", line 86, in Connect
return Connection(*args, **kwargs)
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/MySQLdb/connections.py", line 204, in __init__
super(Connection, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs2)
_mysql_exceptions.OperationalError: (2026, 'SSL connection error: unknown error number')
The SSL connection works fine in Python3 or directly from the command line.
Is there anything I can do to make this work?

Locate and add the line skip_ssl in /etc/mysql/my.cnf ( have tried this on MySQL 8.0.29 , Ubuntu 18)
This was the only thing that worked for me.
[mysqld]
skip_ssl

Instal postgres sql in windows 10

I try to install the latest version of postgres sql using the latest version and the recommended set up.
However when I open the pg adming I receive this error.
Python Path: "C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\13\pgAdmin 4\python\python.exe"
Runtime Config File: "C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\pgadmin\runtime_config.json"

File "C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\13\pgAdmin 4\web\pgadmin\setup\db_version.py", line 19, in get_version
return version.value
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'value'
Any help on how to fix it?

After trying all the other suggestions without success, it finally worked for me now, with the way suggested here: Get fatal error: server could not be contacted when running pgAdmin4. 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'value'
Install the newest version of the standalone pgAdmin from https://www.pgadmin.org/download/pgadmin-4-windows/
(you can do the installation additionally to the existing bundled version, without having to remove anything before)
Delete the C:\Users\your_username\AppData\Roaming\pgadmin folder
(I restarted the postgres service once again)
Run the new pgAdmin as Administrator - it works!
Several people report that, from then on, even the old bundled version of pgAdmin works fine!

I resolved in this way:
I removed PGadmin from "Application Stack Builder"
download last version v4 5.2 (pgAdmin 4 v5.2 (released April 22, 2021)
installed...
lunched like admin... (error as usual)
clean-up folder C:\Users\XXXXX\AppData\Roaming\pgadmin (opsssss)
lunched like admin... All ran successfully!
Using all in one PGadmin with Application Stack gave me an usual error bind to some pyton or configuration file
Alen

I had a lot of trouble launching pgAdmin. Several solutions are there.
Try an older version of pgAdmin. The latest version might have unresolved issues.
Go to %APPDATA% (C:\Users{{your username}}\AppData\Roaming) folder and delete the pgadmin folder and run again.
go to environment variables (search environment on search bar) -> advanced, the click on Environment Variables. On System Variables click on path and set a new path for C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\13\bin (the address might vary on your PC)

SASL error when trying to connect to hive(hue) by python from my PC - Windows10

Need your help!
I read all the documentation that I found on the internet (StackOverflow, Github, etc.), but nothing helped.
I am trying to connect to hive(hue) by python from my PC, my script is:
When I run this code I got this error message:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:/Users/myuser/Documents/Python/testing.py", line 6, in <module>
cursor = hive.connect('myconnect', port=10000, username='root').cursor()
File "C:\Users\myuser\AppData\Local\Continuum\anaconda3\lib\site-packages\pyhive\hive.py", line 94,
in connect
return Connection(*args, **kwargs)

thrift.transport.TTransport.TTransportException: Could not start SASL: b'Error in sasl_client_start
(-4) SASL(-4): no mechanism available: Unable to find a callback: 2'
My system detailes:
OS: Windows 10 Pro
Python version: Python 3.7.4
Distribution: Anaconda, Inc. on win32

I found a way to work around the problem.
Actions taken:
Installed VirtualBox with Ubuntu OS on my PC.
Run Ubuntu as root.
Installed python, pip3 and the relevant libraries(pyhive, sasl, thrift_sasl, and thrift)
Run my code - works great!
My conclusion that my problem caused due to security(I am not an admin on my station) and windows issues.

isql works but python connection fails

I'm trying to hook up odbc to work on my Mac with python via pyodbc. I've got things set up such that
isql -v <my Connection>
works just file, however when I'm in a python shell and I try:
import pyodbc
pyodbc.connect('DSN=<my Connection>;UID=<username>;PWD=<password>
I get the cryptic:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
pyodbc.Error: ('HY000', '[] (202) (SQLDriverConnect)')
What can I do to debug this and determine what steps I can take next to get odbc working? Previously, I had odbc installed and was getting "no driver source name" messages in python, and after moving the odbc.ini and odbcinst.ini file to /etc, I now get the error above. Any ideas? Thanks for your time.

Are you trying to connect to SQL Server? Give this a try:
DRIVER={FreeTDS};SERVER=<yourserver.example.com>;PORT=1433;DATABASE=<your DB>;UID=<your username>;<your password>;TDS_Version=7.2;
Hopefully, that'll work for you. The TDS version depends on what version of SQL Server you're using. See here:
http://www.freetds.org/userguide/choosingtdsprotocol.htm
7.2 also works for 2012 + 2014.

You have to install the mongodb server for osx: http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/tutorial/install-mongodb-on-os-x/
