There are no "general performance issues" with respect to "using MySQL with
Python".

The use of Python as a programming front end does not impact the performance
of whatever database server you might select.  The choice of MySQL as your
database server does not impact the effectiveness of whatever front end
programming language you select. The 2 functions, database server and
programming language, do not interact in ways that raise unique performance
issues.

You can choose each one without worrying about the other. They two quite
separate design choices.
