description-mysql_weakly-referenced object

I came across this issue using the following code file

the error message is ReferenceError: weakly-referenced object no longer exists

reason is in the mysql/connector/cursor.py file

see these lines:
  def _set_connection(self, connection):
        """Set the connection"""
        try:
            self._connection = weakref.proxy(connection)
            self._connection._protocol  # pylint: disable=W0212,W0104
        except (AttributeError, TypeError):
            raise errors.InterfaceError(errno=2048)

because the connection is weakref, so when we use its reference, it is unsafe.

To avoid this issue, use the test1 method.

mysqlconnector.py

import mysql.connector as connector

def connection():

    config = {
        "user": "root",
        "password": "password",
        "host": "localhost",
        "port": 3306,
        "database": "pydb"
    }
    try:
        c = connector.connect(**config)
        return c
    except:
        print "connection error"
        exit(1)

def test(): # error method
    cur= connection().cursor() 
    cur.execute("select version();")
    print cur.fetchone()

def test1(): #no error method
    cn = connection()
    cur = cn.cursor()
    cur.execute("select version;")
    print cur.fetchone()
