Hotfix to address Python Package Index (PyPI) issue for dependency packages (e.g., mysql-connector-python) not complying with PEP 470, which removed external hosting support (see issue 365{:title=’Issue 365’). To work around the issue temporarily, we have chosen to pull the required files directly from the official supplier sources vs. using the PyPI servers as a means of indirection. We believe that most of the affected package maintainers were unresponsive to the PyPI deprecation announcement due to the recent holidays and will soon be correcting this issue on their end.
