PyMySQL can’t connect to MySQL on localhost

Question

Two guesses:

Run mysqladmin variables | grep socket to get where the socket is located, and try setting up a connection like so:
```
pymysql.connect(db='base', user="root", passwd='pwd', unix_socket="/tmp/mysql.sock")
```
Run mysqladmin variables | grep port and verify that the port is 3306. If not, you can set the port manually like so:
```
pymysql.connect(db='base', user="root", passwd='pwd', host="localhost", port=XXXX)
```
