Title:
  python-pymysql fails to build on xenial and yakkety

Status in python-pymysql package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in python-pymysql source package in Xenial:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  Python-pymysql sets up MySQL in a temporary location for running its tests. It runs mysql_install_db and mysqld using options that have been removed in 5.7, causing d/run_tests.sh to fail.
  Additionally, there's a test that fails in 5.7; It expects a deprecation warning that 5.7 gives, but only for python >= 3.2. The test failure has been fixed upstream: https://github.com/PyMySQL/PyMySQL/issues/478

  [Impact]
  Test run fails, causing build to fail

  [Test Case]
  Build python-pymysql from source

  [Regression Potential]
  The altered database init will not work with MySQL earlier than 5.7 (even the xenial patch that still uses mysql_install_db)
