[Python] Mysql connector for python appears to be crashing, how can I diagnose the problem?

The following code is expected to print, "A", "B", and "C":

print ("A")
import mysql.connector
print("B")
mydb = mysql.connector.connect(
host="localhost",
user="test",
password="testpass",
)
print("C")


For some reason it prints "A", and "B", but never C. If I change the port to an incorrect port, it gives an error, so it seems to be connecting. I have tried adding a long time-out and that does not help. I have also tried connecting through the mysql command-line, and I am able to connect. I have also tried adding a try{} except{} block; the code never reaches the except block.

What can I do to determine the problem?
