FYI, I'm not interested in supporting this.
After 1.0, I'll look MySQL x-protocol. It support prepared statement without extra roundtrips.

If someone interested in this, please respect PostgreSQL drivers and MySQL Connector/Python
APIs.

@methane Is this something you want to close or still waiting for 1.0? What sort of issues are more important for 1.0 release.

I believe I was able to do this part. I created a prepared statement class and wrote some tests.

So what's the latest on this? Has this secretly been implemented in PyMySQL? If not, then are there still plans to support prepared statements at some point?

I am very interested in "prepare statement" functionality. I found that someone seems have implemented it here:
aio-libs/aiomysql#508

aiomysql pushed back saying it has to be implemented in PyMySQL. Seriously, you folks are the best Python MySQL library, with literally one feature missing! I can't use other libraries because PyMySQL is gevent friendly!
