Install MySQL using pip install MySQL-python on Windows not working?

Question

I couldn't install the mysql package and have looked at many solutions but nothing solved the issue. Please help, and tell what I need to do to make this work.

After running the command, this was displayed:

Then this was in red:

Answer 1

All I had to do was go over to oracle, and download the MySQL Connector C 6.0.2 and do the typical install.

http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/c/6.0.html#downloads

Once that was done, I went into pycharms, and selected the MySQL-python==1.2.4 package to install, and it worked great. No need to update any configuration or anything like that. This was the simplest version for me to work through.

Hope it helps.

Answer 2

On its pypi listing here , mysql db currently has support for python up to 2.7. There are other mysql packages though, see mysqlclient .

Answer 3

从https://pypi.python.org/pypi/MySQL-python/1.2.5安装.exe安装程序对我来说很有效。
