Remove mysql-python

https://sourceforge.net/projects/mysql-python/ links to: https://github.com/farcepest/MySQLdb1 and there it states: "This is the legacy (1.x) version of MySQLdb. While it is still being maintained, there will not be a lot of new feature development."

I don't think it belongs on this list.

@dveeden but it is still maintained, and I assume in use by many?

@shlomi-noach Looking at the github pages the last commit is from January 2014 (2½ years ago) and there are many serious issues open in their issue tracker (including security vulnerabilities).

It's still used in the wild, but if I understand correctly recommended way of connecting to mysql from python is https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/python/
