For folks using Python 3 0   which should be everyone now    Unfortunately  MySQL-Python 1 2 5 does not support Python 3 0  yet  which is kinda unreasonable IMHO  Python 3  has been out for a while   Reference   https   pypi python org pypi MySQL-python 1 2 5  So  my workaround is to use Oracle s MySQL connector  In settings py  change DATABASE s  ENGINE  field to   ENGINE    mysql connector django    More info could be found in the last paragraph of the first answer to this question  Setting Django up to use MySQL  Hope this helps

I have a slightly different setup  but think my solution will help you out   I have a Windows 8 Machine  Python 2 7 installed and running my stuff through eclipse   Some Background    When I did an easy install it tries to install MySQL-python 1 2 5 which failed with an error  Unable to find vcvarsall bat  I did an easy install of pip and tried the pip install which also failed with a similar error  They both reference vcvarsall bat which is something to do with visual studio  since I don t have visual studio on my machine  it left me looking for a different solution  which I share below   The Solution    Reinstall python 2 7 8 from 2 7 8 from https   www python org download this will add any missing registry settings  which is required by the next install  Install 1 2 4 from http   pypi python org pypi MySQL-python 1 2 4    After I did both of those installs I was able to query my MySQL db through eclipse

You re going to want to add Python to your Path Environment Variable in this way  Go to    My Computer System Properties Advance System Settings Under the  Advanced  tab click the button that says  Environment Variables  Then under System Variables you are going to want to add   change the following variables  PYTHONPATH and Path   Here is a paste of what my variables look like    PYTHONPATH  C  Python27 C  Python27 Lib site-packages C  Python27 Lib C  Python27 DLLs C  Python27 Lib lib-tk C  Python27 Scripts   Path  C  Program Files MySQL MySQL Utilities 1 3 5  C  Python27 C  Python27 Lib site-packages C  Python27 Lib C  Python27 DLLs C  Python27 Lib lib-tk C  Python27 Scripts   Your Path s might be different  so please adjust them  but this configuration works for me and you should be able to run MySQL after making these changes

Just Download mysqlclient from here https   www lfd uci edu  gohlke pythonlibs  be careful while downloading the right version depending on your your python version installed  Then proceed with the import   It worked for me because in my case the error was telling to install Visual Studio C   14 0 something which wasted my time and occupied around 10GB of space in my C drive  So recommending installing mysqlclient using pip install mysqlclient
