unable to install mysql-python for python 2.7.18 on windows 10

Question

When I compiled a python script, this error shows.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "bitcrack.py", line 41, in <module>
    import MySQLdb
ImportError: No module named MySQLdb

I tried to install mysql-python. I need to use only Python 2.7.18 on windows 10.

I tried in many ways. But it's not solved. Already installed MS VS Dev Tools. One questions: Do I have to run MySQL server to install this package? I appreciate your help.

Answer 1

I would suggest trying to use sqlalchemy (you could save the whole query which will of course be more complicated than the one in the example):

# Import sqlalchemy's create_engine() function
from sqlalchemy import create_engine
import pandas as pd

# Create the database engine
engine = create_engine("mssql+pyodbc://user:pass@dsn")

# Create a SQL query to load the entire table
query = """
SELECT * 
  FROM XXX;
"""

# Load with the SQL query
load = pd.read_sql(query, engine)

Please let me know if any issues.
