Create database connection with pre-configured SSL socket

[jackwotherspoon]

Is there the ability to create database connections from a pre-configured SSL Socket using mysqlclient?

Pymysql allows a sock argument to it's connect method (code) that allows passing in a pre-configured socket, wondering if mysqlclient has something equivalent?

I ask because the Cloud SQL Python Connector would like to support mysqlclient as a driver option for connecting to Google Cloud SQL instances. Currently the only MySQL driver we support is pymysql (code) as we need the ability to pass in a pre-configured SSL socket/connection.

Let me know, happy to give further details if need be or raise a feature request 😄

mysqlclient is a binding of libmysqlclient.
Does any library using libmysqlclient supports that feature?

@methane not that I am aware of, I will investigate a bit further into other C-binding libraries that leverage libmysqlclient. I guess that for mysqlclient to support such a feature, a patch to libmysqlclient would be required first?
