Error Installing mysql-python

Question

I am Using Python 3.4.3 . I am using Windows 7 32-bit version.

I installed MysqlDb successfully but I am having problems installing mysql-python using easy install. I am getting the below error.

Setup script exited with error: Microsoft Visual C++ 10.0 is required (Unable to find vcvarsall.bat).

I have installed Visual Studio 2013 .

I have set the environment variable for VS90COMNTOOLS

I have installed Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 x86 Redistributable- 10.0.30319

Please Help!

Answer 1

The actual problem you're asking about here is just yet another duplicate of the vcvarsall problem, which you can search for.

But the far bigger problem is that, as the entry for MySQL-python says:

MySQL-3.23 through 5.5 and Python-2.4 through 2.7 are currently supported. Python-3.0 will be supported in a future release. PyPy is supported.

So, you cannot install it for Python 3.4.3 (unless you want to do the work on porting it yourself, which they've been stuck on for a few years at this point…).

There are a number of other MySQL libraries for Python, which are Python 3-compatible. And some of them come with wheels (or come with binary installers, or are pure-Python via ctypes , or just by natively talking the protocol). Choose one of those instead.
