在Linux生产服务器中，当我尝试安装mysql-python模块时出现错误

Question

I have a one django app , And now i want send it to production linux server but when i try to install mysql-python module , I got this error :

> error: Setup script exited with error: Unable to find vcvarsall.bat

I know that , I can fix this error with installing visual studio in windows .

but I don't know how can i fix this in linux , and i write this app with python 3.4 .

I search all of stackoverflow , but i can't find anything for my problem .

And i Try C++ compiler for python from microsoft but it can't solve my problem .

when I type pip install mysql-python i got this error :

Answer 1

mysql-python does not support Python 3. Django recommends using mysqlclient .

See also Python 3 and MySQL .

pip install mysqlclient

Please also note that some packages are required. Not entirely sure which from the following are specific to mysqlclient, but here is a list of the ones that I install in my servers anyway:

- build-essential
- python-mysqldb
- libmysqlclient-dev
- python3-dev

What is unclear in your question is the part about the ms compiler when the server is ubuntu.
