I'm trying to connect my database to python code but always I got an error

import mysql.connector

db = mysql.connector.connect(
    host="localhost",
    user="*****",
    passwd="*******",
    )

mycursor = db.cursor()

mycursor.execute("CREATE DATABASE testdatabase")

the error says:

The answer is instead of installing pip install mysql.connector install mysql.connector-python which is pip install mysql.connector-python
