looks like pymsyql just got updated from 0.6.3 to 0.6.6, see here: https://travis-ci.org/pydata/pandas/jobs/53409636
and started breaking our builds (only 3.4 oddly)

@jorisvandenbossche this is currently causing all builds to fail.

@jreback Will try to look at this tomorrow. Maybe we can we just fix the version to 0.6.3 in the travis tests for now?
Comment From: jreback
ok I fixed the version so master will pass now.

Hmm, strange, I can't reproduce this issue locally (Windows, pymysql 0.6.6, pandas master and sqlalchemy 0.9.6). I can try it later on linux
Comment From: jorisvandenbossche
We are not pinning the version of pymysql for all builds (so should test with latest), and have for the rest no complaints about something not working with pymysql, so closing this.
