Can't connect to a localhosts database in lampp

Hello!
I tried to make a new connection in a localhost that has mariaDB running, when entering the credentials it throws me a connection error, it is not possible to connect, programming with Python something similar happened to me with the pymysql library, where I had to manually write the socket of MySql. eg:
```python
connection = pymysql.connect (
unix_socket = "/ opt / lampp / var / mysql / mysql.sock",
host = 'localhost',
user = user,
passwd = pswd,
db = 'python',
```
But I don't know or can't find how to modify the socket path for the extension, could you help me please? Thanks!

The issue names no repository files, tests, or entry points. Reproduce the connection failure with a LAMPP MariaDB instance and inspect how the extension handles localhost connections and socket paths. Done means a user can configure or otherwise use the MariaDB socket path and connect successfully.
