The update turned out to be a little more involved than I expected. MacPorts has versions of MariaDB from 10.2 through 10.11. I’m not following db stuff anymore and I haven’t got a clue what is considered ‘mainstream’ now. I’ve set the py-mysqlclient port to default to MariaDB 10.9 in hopes that that version is relatively recent and yet stable enough to use. Please either reply or file a ticket if you run into any problems. Craig
