MySQL Connector/Python Release Notes
Deprecation
This method has been deprecated as of 9.3.0. Use the property method Section 10.2.41, “MySQLConnection.connected Property” instead.
Reports whether the connection to MySQL Server is available.
This method checks whether the connection to MySQL is available
using the
ping()
method, but unlike ping(),
is_connected() returns
True when the connection is available,
False otherwise.
