Description:
_batch_insert in cursor.py tries to encode the statement with the defined character set. If the mysql connection character set is defined as utf8mb4, a character set that python doesn't know, all batch inserts fail.

How to repeat:
specify utf8mb4 as the connection charset, use _batch_insert, see the following error:

/opt/actmd/act-env/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/mysql/connector/cursor.py', 569, '_batch_insert', '"Failed executing the operation; %s" % err)'), "InterfaceError('(mysql.connector.errors.InterfaceError) Failed executing the operation; unknown encoding: utf8mb4',)"]]

I see this was finally fixed in 2.1.7, can I get credit for it?

Hello  Imre Fitos,

Thank you for your feedback.
Imho, your contribution triggered 2 bugs,  first BugĀ #80535 and later Bug #80897. 
Bug #80897, is in verified state and not yet closed. I'll pass on your feedback to development through Bug #80897 and I request you to add further comments to Bug #80897 if any.
For now, I'll mark this bug as duplicate of  Bug #80897. Ideally newer bug is marked as duplicate of older but since Bug #80897 is already in verified state and hence marking other one as duplicate.

Thanks,
Chiranjeevi.
