Comment # 5 on bug 1122204 from Dirk Mueller

So this is actually only used by python-peewee newer than 3.12, which only
exists in Tumbleweed. For Tumbleweed I switched now to PyMySQL as the peewee
driver so this is no longer actually used. 

Now I submitted a version update to 8.0.19 which I think fixes this issue
(amongst everything else including a completely new api). I am not able to
identify a smaller patch nor do I think we should keep patching version 2.1.x
of the driver when version 8.x is around. Nothing depends on this as far as I
can say, so I'd also be fine with dropping it.
