_mysql_exceptions

[Cat22]

My system:

  linux, openSuse Tumbleweed x86_64

 weewx 3.9.2 using python 2.7.17

I am not getting very far with this so I thought I'd ask here

What module does _mysql_exceptions come from?

 engine: Caught unrecoverable exception in engine:
   ****  No module named _mysql_exceptions

I have searched the web and asked and even grepped the weex directories

(I'm no python programmer) I see references to it in the weewx code like

"from _mysql_exceptions" but I cant figure out where thats coming from

fyi: mysql.py is in weewx/bin/weedb as it should be i guess

The error:

engine: Archive will use data binding wx_binding
weewx[15764]: engine: Record generation will be attempted in 'hardware'
weewx[15764]: engine: Using archive interval of 300 seconds (specified by hardware)
weewx[15764]: engine: Caught unrecoverable exception in engine:

When I see config_dict in your traceback, I immediately think that you perhaps typo'd something in your weewx.conf file when you defined your mysql setup there, but it's also possible you didn't install a prerequisite python package.
