Any ideas?

Answer 1

You can instead use the mysqlclient package as a drop-in replacement for MySQL-python. It is a fork of MySQL-python with added support for Python 3.

I had luck with simply

pip install mysqlclient

in my python3.4 virtualenv after

sudo apt-get install python3-dev libmysqlclient-dev

which is obviously specific to ubuntu/debian, but I just wanted to share my success :)

Answer 2

In Python 3, ConfigParser has been renamed to configparser for PEP 8 compliance. It looks like the package you are installing does not support Python 3.

Answer 3

Here is a code that should work in both Python 2.x and 3.x

Obviously you will need the six module, but it's almost impossible to write modules that work in both versions without six.

try:
    import configparser
except:
    from six.moves import configparser

Answer 4

pip install configparser
sudo cp /usr/lib/python3.6/configparser.py /usr/lib/python3.6/ConfigParser.py

Then try to install the MYSQL-python again. That Worked for me

Answer 5

MySQL-python is not supported on python3 instead of this you can use mysqlclient

If you are on fedora/centos/Red Hat install following package

1. yum install python3-devel
2. pip install mysqlclient

Answer 6

如果您使用的是 CentOS，那么您需要使用

1. yum install python34-devel.x86_64
2. yum groupinstall -y 'development tools'
3. pip3 install mysql-connector
4. pip install mysqlclient

Answer 7

Python 2/3 对configparser兼容性可以简单地通过six库来解决

from six.moves import configparser

Answer 8

I was having the same problem. Turns out, I needed to install python3 devel on my centos. First, you need to search for the package that is compatible with your system.

yum search python3 | grep devel

Then, install the package as:

yum install -y python3-devel.x86_64

Then, install mysqlclient from pip

pip install mysqlclient

Answer 9

Do pip3 install PyMySQL and then pip3 install mysqlclient . Worked for me

Answer 10

I got further with Valeres answer:

pip install configparser sudo cp /usr/lib/python3.6/configparser.py /usr/lib/python3.6/ConfigParser.py Then try to install the MYSQL-python again. That Worked for me

I would suggest to link the file instead of copy it. It is save to update. I linked the file to /usr/lib/python3/ directory.

Answer 11

Try this solution which worked fine for me.

Basically it's to reinstall/upgrade to latest version of mysql from brew , and then installing mysqlclient or MySQL-Python from global pip3 instead of virtualenv pip3 .

Then accessing the virtualenv and successfully install mysqlclient or MySQL-Python .

Answer 12

how about checking the version of Python you are using first.

import six
if six.PY2:
    import ConfigParser as configparser
else:
    import configparser

Answer 13

I run kali linux- Rolling and I came across this problem ,when I tried running cupp.py in the terminal, after updating to python 3.6.0. After some research and trial I found that changing ConfigParser to configparser worked for me but then I came across another issue.

config = configparser.configparser() AttributeError: module 'configparser' has no attribute 'configparser'

After a bit more research I realised that for python 3 ConfigParser is changed to configparser but note that it has an attribute ConfigParser() .

Answer 14

I was getting the same error on Mac OS 10, Python 3.7.6 & Django 2.2.7. I want to use this opportunity to share what worked for me after trying out numerous solutions.

Steps

1. Installed Connector/Python 8.0.20 for Mac OS from link

2. Copy current dependencies into requirements.txt file, deactivated the current virtual env, and deleted it using;

   create the file if not already created with; touch requirements.txt

   copy dependency to file; python -m pip3 freeze > requirements.txt

   deactivate and delete current virtual env; deactivate && rm -rf <virtual-env-name>

3. Created another virtual env and activated it using; python -m venv <virtual-env-name> && source <virtual-env-name>/bin/activate

4. Install previous dependencies using; python -m pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Answer 15

I still have this issue, so I go to /usr/lib/python3.8 and type as sudoer:

cp configparser.py ConfigParser.py

You may have another python version than 3.8.

Answer 16

对我来说，以下命令有效：

sudo python3 -m pip install mysql-connector

Answer 17

Additional info:

Python 2x

import ConfigParser

Python 3x

import configparser

Answer 18

brew install mysql

pip3 install mysql仍然给出“ configparser错误”，我不知道为什么现在还没有纠正。

Answer 19

I am trying to run tryton server for GNU health with this command './trytond --verbose' but getting this error :

Traceback (most recent call last): File "./trytond", line 16, in from trytond.config import config, split_netloc File "/home/health/gnuhealth/tryton/server/trytond-4.6.21/trytond/config.py", line 4, in import configparser ImportError: No module named configparser

What can I do to run the server? Please help.

Answer 20

Following @MaciejNg I tried making a copy:

sudo cp ./env/lib/python3.8/site-packages/configparser.py ./env/lib/python3.8/site-packages/ConfigParser.py

Which didn't work

configparser.py and ConfigParser.py are identical

So I renamed the file:

sudo mv ./env/lib/python3.8/site-packages/configparser.py ./env/lib/python3.8/site-packages/ConfigParser.py

Answer 21

Kindly to see what is /usr/bin/python pointing to

if it is pointing to python3 or higher change to python2.7

This should solve the issue.

I was getting install error for all the python packages. Abe Karplus's solution & discussion gave me the hint as to what could be the problem. Then I recalled that I had manually changed the /usr/bin/python from python2.7 to /usr/bin/python3.5 , which actually was causing the issue. Once I reverted the same. It got solved.

Answer 22

这对我有用

cp /usr/local/lib/python3.5/configparser.py /usr/local/lib/python3.5/ConfigParser.py
