MySQL-python安装在virtualenv中不起作用

Question

I am trying to connect a MySQL database to my Django project, but when I try to install MySQL-python, it gives me the following error:

Collecting mysql-python
  Using cached MySQL-python-1.2.5.zip
    Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info:
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
      File "/private/var/folders/fr/3k1nrq490dzdz9s48k49m9640000gn/T/pip-build-4dsuxwwv/mysql-python/setup.py", line 13, in <module>
        from setup_posix import get_config
      File "/private/var/folders/fr/3k1nrq490dzdz9s48k49m9640000gn/T/pip-build-4dsuxwwv/mysql-python/setup_posix.py", line 2, in <module>
        from ConfigParser import SafeConfigParser
    ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'ConfigParser'

    ----------------------------------------
Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in /private/var/folders/fr/3k1nrq490dzdz9s48k49m9640000gn/T/pip-build-4dsuxwwv/mysql-python/

I have tried pip3 install ConfigParser , but while it gets installed, the error still occurs.

When I try to run my Django server, it prints out a long error log, and at the end:

django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: Error loading MySQLdb module.
Did you install mysqlclient?

and when I looked at the following link, it said that I should install MySQL-python: Django mysqlclient install

May seem like a newbie question, but I can't seem to find similar errors elsewhere online.

EDIT:: Ok, looks like MySQL-python is not for python-3.6

While I did pip3 install mysqlclient , the virtualenv is saying that I have already installed it when I run the command again. But when I try to python3 manage.py runserver , I get the above error, asking if I had installed it. When I try to give an answer, I am unable to. Everytime I press ENTER, it just creates a new line and the prompt is still active.

The above error is preceded by the following text:

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

Answer 1

Python 3 does not include ConfigParser only has configparser

>>> import ConfigParser
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named 'ConfigParser'
>>> import configparser

Try Python 2.7 which still works if we use import ConfigParser

Answer 2

Try to install with different package, it has support for python 3.

pip install mysqlclient

If there is error while installing in virtualenv, do install this first.

sudo apt-get -y install python3-dev libmysqlclient-dev
