MySQL Connector/Python Release Notes
Syntax:
cnx.ping(reconnect=False, attempts=1, delay=0)Check whether the connection to the MySQL server is still available.
When reconnect is set to
True, one or more attempts
are made to try to reconnect to the MySQL server, and these
options are forwarded to the
reconnect()>method.
Use the delay argument (seconds) if you want
to wait between each retry.
When the connection is not available, an
InterfaceError is raised. Use the
is_connected()
method to check the connection without raising an error.
Raises InterfaceError on errors.
