BTW, why the version of pip mysql is so low? (0.0.3)

Answer 1

pip install mysql-connector 或者不要让你的 .py 文件名：mysql.py 或类似的东西。

Answer 2

OS: Mac 11.6.2 (Big Sur) Python: 3.9.7

If you, like me, use conda environments, and you have trouble installing the mysql-connector-python module with an existing mysql module installed, try this:

(env)username ~% conda update --all
(env)username ~% conda uninstall mysql
(env)username ~% conda install -c conda-forge mysql
(env)username ~% conda install -c conda-forge mysql-connector-python

Now the mysql.connector package is found from the JupyterLab notebook when running it from either VSCode or from Anaconda Navigator.

I hope this is useful for someone.
