[BUG] Centos 8 - python client for mysql missing about mysql-formula

[myii]

Thanks for the detailed report, @campbellmc. I can confirm this from Travis:

• https://travis-ci.org/github/myii/mysql-formula/jobs/700822022#L2211-L2220

As you've mentioned, the fix may be a little convoluted and there's no set maintainer for this formula at the current time. What's the actual package replacement for MySQL-python on CentOS 8?

[campbellmc]

The pypi package mysqlclient was the only package I could find that worked to provide python bindings.
I didn't find a drop in replacement yum package that provides the MySQLdb python module.
The pypi module PyMySQL seems to have more activity as a module, however, it's not detected by salt.

@campbellmc did you end up reaching a solution for this? I am running in to the exact same issue.

Sadly, my solution involved not using salt for managing mysql.
