在weibospider项目新建所有的表时遇到的错误：
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.6/lib/python3.6/site-packages/sqlalchemy/pool.py", line 1122, in _do_get
return self._pool.get(wait, self._timeout)
File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.6/lib/python3.6/site-packages/sqlalchemy/util/queue.py", line 145, in get
raise Empty
sqlalchemy.util.queue.Empty
During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "create_all.py", line 10, in <module>
create_all_table()
File "create_all.py", line 7, in create_all_table
metadata.create_all()
...
没有找到出错的具体原因，所以只能更换一个引擎，在这里找到了一个临时方案：
安装新的引擎：
$ pip install mysql-connector-python
使用方法：
Engine = create_engine('mysql+mysqlconnector://<USERNAME>:<PASSWD>@<HOSTNAME>:<PORT>/<DBNAME>')
(2018.5.3更新)
导致上述问题的主要原因可能是KeyError: 255这个错误：
Traceback (most recent call last):

File "C:\Program Files\Python36\lib\site-packages\pymysql\__init__.py", line 90, in Connect
return Connection(*args, **kwargs)
File "C:\Program Files\Python36\lib\site-packages\pymysql\connections.py", line 706, in __init__
self.connect()

File "C:\Program Files\Python36\lib\site-packages\pymysql\charset.py", line 38, in by_id
return self._by_id[id]
KeyError: 255
主要原因是MySQL8.0更新了很多字符集，但是这些字符集长度超过255了，所以旧版的PyMySQL不支持长度超过255的字符
查看当前版本的PyMySQL：
> pip list
