Python mysql.connector.pooling ImportError: No module named pooling

Question

I am facing some difficulty when I try to run a Flask app. I get the following import error:

  File "/db/mysql_utils.py", line 2, in <module>
    import mysql.connector.pooling
ImportError: No module named pooling

I tried several ways to install mysql_connector_python-1.0.12 such as

sudo pip install https://cdn.mysql.com/Downloads/Connector-Python/mysql-connector-python-1.0.12.tar.gz

Download the file to local and install it. Also tried running the setup.py and had no luck.

I am assuming mysql.connector.pooling is part of mysql-connector-python, but please correct me if I am wrong.

Thanks

On my Centos7 box, i installed the community-release repo and mysql-connector.

sudo yum update mysql-community-release sudo yum install mysql-connector-python
