error installing MySQL-python with pip

Question

I am having following error when I try to run server

django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: 
Error loading MySQLdb module: No module named 'MySQLdb'

I tried using pip install mysql-python , but it gave me this errror:

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 20, in <module>
  File "/tmp/pip-build-t81ezx2d/mysql-python/setup.py", line 13, in <module>
    from setup_posix import get_config
  File "/tmp/pip-build-t81ezx2d/mysql-python/setup_posix.py", line 2, in <module>
    from ConfigParser import SafeConfigParser
ImportError: No module named 'ConfigParser'    
----------------------------------------
Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip-build-t81ezx2d/mysql-python

These are the modules I have installed through pip:

alabaster==0.7.6
Babel==2.0
Django==1.8.3
docutils==0.12
Jinja2==2.8
MarkupSafe==0.23
mysql-connector-python==2.0.4
Pygments==2.0.2
pytz==2015.4
six==1.9.0
snowballstemmer==1.2.0
Sphinx==1.3.1
sphinx-rtd-theme==0.1.8

Any help?

Edit: solved the issue using mysqlclient , Mysql-python isn't available for Python 3.

Answer 1

first install then it will work fine. apt-get install python-dev libmysqlclient-dev

Answer 2

Maybe a capitalization issue?

try this:

pip install MySQL-python

Hopefully that works, but if not, try using

pip search stringToSearchFor

to find the proper package name
