Mac: Running setup.py install for mysqlclient … error

Question

I am switching to mac from linux. In linux, i used to install mysqlclient in project enviroment and also globally when the app gave me error like "mysqlclient improperly configured". But in mac I couldn't seem to find a way. Here is the traceback below when I am trying to install mysqlclient in project enviroment.

Collecting mysqlclient
  Using cached mysqlclient-2.0.3.tar.gz (88 kB)
Using legacy 'setup.py install' for mysqlclient, since package 'wheel' is not installed.
Installing collected packages: mysqlclient

Also suggest me python blogs for mac, so that i can switch to mac faster.

Answer 1

My easy solution was to install pymysql in the project enviroment.

pip install pymysql

Then add the code below in the init .py file in the project's settings.py directory.

import pymysql
pymysql.install_as_MySQLdb()
