Description:
A lack of an operational PyPi entry for mysql-connector-python has convinced others to upload entries to solve that issue.

Example:

https://pypi.python.org/pypi/mysql-connector-python-rf

https://pypi.python.org/pypi/mysql-connector-repackaged

People find it via pip search.

Reference:

How to repeat:
(cpython27) BenJolitz-Laptop:~/Downloads$ pip search mysql-connector-python | grep connector-python
snowflake-connector-python                       - Snowflake Connector for Python
mysql-connector-python-rf                        - MySQL driver written in Python
mysql-connector-python                           - MySQL driver written in Python
(cpython27) BenJolitz-Laptop:~/Downloads$

Suggested fix:
Upload the official package

Looks like mysql-connector-repackaged is mysql-connector-python but with a different structure.
