ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'mysql' even when module is installed

Question

I am fairly new to python and I am trying to write a script that would read and write to a mysql table. I have installed mysql-connector on python3 and I got the script working yesterday. It successfully read and wrote data to mysql. When I ran it today, this error came up. ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'mysql'

I already checked the following things:

• mysql-connector is installed
• I don't have any user-defined module named mysql
• not running on virtualenv

Does someone have any idea on what is happening?

Answer 1

check if mysql-connector is installed: python -m pip freeze. It is probably not listed. You can install it with:

pip install mysql-connector

or

python -m pip install mysql-connector
