Miscellaneous Notes

• Windows Segmentation Fault when Creating MySQL Pooled Connection
  • PROBLEM: Windows users might get a Segmentation Fault when attempting to create the MySQLConnection pool in the MySQLPersistenceWrapper class. This does not seem to affect MacOS or Linux users. The problem stems from incompatible C binaries related to the mysql-connector-python package.
  • SOLUTION: I have added a "use_pure": true to the configuration file's "database":"pool" section. I have modified the MySQLPersistenceWrapper._initialize_database_connection_pool() method to use this setting in the MySQLConnectionPool() constructor.
  • Linux and MacOS users should be able to set "use_pure": false.
  • Windows users can try "use_pure": false but if you receive the Segmentation Fault error set "use_pure": true. _ I have tested this on Windows 10 Pro, Linux Debian, and MacOS 26 and 10.15.7 Catalina
