Description:
MySQL Connector/Python could not be installed via MySQL Installer and.or standalone installer MSI package if you have too recent version of Python installed, e.g. 3.11.0.

How to repeat:
1. Install python 3.11.0 or newer
2. Try to install Connector/Python via MySQL Installer (offline) or standalone installer MSI package - either 32-bit or 64-bit

Suggested fix:
Please make installer to support newer versions of Python.

Hello Siddharth Sinha,

Thank you for the report and feedback.
IMHO this is duplicate of Bug #108911, please see Bug #108911.
Good news is that, Bug #108911 is fixed as of the upcoming MySQL Connector/Python 8.0.32 release, and here's the proposed changelog entry from the documentation team:

On Windows, the Connector/Python MSI did would not detect and install
with Python 3.11. The workaround is to use pip install mysql-connector-python instead.

regards,
Umesh
