If you have a MySQL database in XAMPP, and you're running a Flask app locally that needs to connect to that database, this works.

	#!/Users/username/Documents/python/projectname/env/bin/python

	# edit line 1 to match what YOU get when you are in YOUR virtualenv and type: which python
	# NO SPACES in first 3 chars in line 1: #!/
	# make sure env is activated!
	# make sure you have "started all" in XAMPP!
	# code below works for a MySQL database in XAMPP on Mac OS
	# pymysql can be installed with pip: pip install PyMySQL

	import pymysql
