To create a new MySQL database in Python, you can use the mysql-connector-python library to connect to the MySQL server and issue a CREATE DATABASE statement.

Create Database:

The basic syntax of the create database statement:

CREATE DATABASE database_name
Example:

Here is an example:

import mysql.connector

mydb = mysql.connector.connect(
    host="hostname",
    user="username",
    password="password"
)

mycursor = mydb.cursor()

mycursor.execute("CREATE DATABASE mydatabase")

In this example, host, user, and password should be replaced with the appropriate values for your MySQL server. Also, mydatabase should be replaced with the desired name for the new database.

List all databases:

To list all databases in a MySQL server using Python, you can use the mysql-connector-python library to connect to the MySQL server and issue a SHOW DATABASES statement.

Here is an example:
import mysql.connector

mydb = mysql.connector.connect(
    host="hostname",
    user="username",
    password="password"
)

mycursor = mydb.cursor()

mycursor.execute("SHOW DATABASES")

for x in mycursor:
    print(x)

In this example, host, user, and password should be replaced with the appropriate values for your MySQL server.

The for loop will iterate through the results of the SHOW DATABASES statement and print the name of each database.

Note: you need to have appropriate privileges to list all databases, otherwise it will give an error.
