Look at the error message. The user information that you are using is not valid.

it is valid as the same user information for pymysql.connect and sqlalchemy's create_engine is working properly without any error.

As I mentioned, it is working properly with pymysql and sqlalchemy's create_engine, so ,there isn't any chance of the authentication data provided to be wrong. Furthermore, I have no idea regarding which version would be compatible for me and how to specifically download that version. Moreover, all privileges are granted as I have checked it.

Take a look here: MySQL :: MySQL Connector/Python Developer Guide :: 3 Connector/Python Versions[^], where you'll find an information what version of Python and Connector is suitable.

my version is compatible according to that page. What should i do now?

I'd check MySql configuration. Maybe MySql server does NOT accept incomming connections.

But,i am able to connect using pymysql with the same statement.
