Here is a code that should work in both Python 2.x and 3.x

Obviously you will need the six module, but it's almost impossible to write modules that work in both versions without six.

try:
    import configparser
except:
    from six.moves import configparser

Kindly to see what is  usr bin python pointing to  if it is pointing to python3 or higher  change to python2 7  This should solve the issue   I was getting install error for all the python packages  Abe Karplus s solution  amp  discussion gave me the hint as to what could be the problem   Then I recalled that I had manually changed the  usr bin python from python2 7 to  usr bin python3 5  which actually was causing the issue  Once I reverted the same  It got solved

I run kali linux- Rolling and I came across this problem  when I tried running cupp py in the terminal  after updating to python 3 6 0  After some research and trial I found that changing    ConfigParser to    configparser worked for me but then I came across another issue   config   configparser configparser   AttributeError  module  configparser  has no attribute  configparser   After a bit more research I realised that for python 3    ConfigParser is changed to    configparser but note that it has an attribute     ConfigParser

In Python 3  ConfigParser has been renamed to configparser for PEP 8 compliance  It looks like the package you are installing does not support Python 3

User · Answer

You can instead use the mysqlclient package as a drop-in replacement for MySQL-python  It is a fork of MySQL-python with added support for Python 3   I had luck with simply  pip install mysqlclient   in my python3 4 virtualenv after  sudo apt-get install python3-dev libmysqlclient-dev   which is obviously specific to ubuntu debian  but I just wanted to share my success

If you are using CentOS  then you need to use   yum install python34-devel x86 64 yum groupinstall -y  development tools  pip3 install mysql-connector pip install mysqlclient

User · Answer

I was having the same problem  Turns out  I needed to install python3 devel on my centos  First  you need to search for the package that is compatible with your system   yum search python3   grep devel   Then  install the package as   yum install -y python3-devel x86 64   Then  install mysqlclient from pip  pip install mysqlclient

User · Answer

MySQL-python is not supported on python3 instead of this you can use mysqlclient   If you are on fedora centos Red Hat install following package   yum install python3-devel pip install mysqlclient

User · Answer

I still have this issue  so I go to  usr lib python3 8 and type as sudoer  cp configparser py ConfigParser py  You may have another python version than 3 8

Try this solution which worked fine for me   Basically it s to reinstall upgrade to latest version of mysql from brew  and then installing mysqlclient or MySQL-Python from global pip3 instead of virtualenv pip3   Then accessing the virtualenv and successfully install mysqlclient or MySQL-Python

For me the following command worked  sudo python3 -m pip install mysql-connector
