I'm trying to use PyMySQL on Ubuntu.
I've installed pymysql
using both pip
and pip3
but every time I use import pymysql
, it returns ImportError: No module named 'pymysql'
I'm using Ubuntu 15.10 64-bit and Python 3.5.
The same .py works on Windows with Python 3.5, but not on Ubuntu.
This question is related to
python
python-3.x
ubuntu
pymysql
I had this same problem just now, and found the reason was my editor (Visual Studio Code) was running against the wrong instance of python; I had it set to run again python bundled with tensorflow, I changed it to my Anaconda python and it worked.
if you are using SPYDER IDE , just try to restart the console or restart the IDE, it works
Just a note: for Anaconda install packages command:
To get around the problem, find out where pymysql is installed.
If for example it is installed in /usr/lib/python3.7/site-packages
, add the following code above the import pymysql
command:
import sys
sys.path.insert(0,"/usr/lib/python3.7/site-packages")
import pymysql
This ensures that your Python program can find where pymysql is installed.
Use:
import pymysql
Not:
import PyMySQL
That works for me.
Make sure that you're working with the version of Python that think you are. Within Python run import sys
and print(sys.version)
.
Select the correct package manager to install pymysql with:
sudo pip install pymysql
.sudo pip3 install pymysql
.sudo conda install pymysql
.sudo apt-get install pymysql
.If all else fails, install the package directly:
sudo python3 setup.py install
.This answer is a compilation of suggestions. Apart from the other ones proposed here, thanks to the comment by @cmaher on this related thread.
For windows or one using google colab, you can try this
!pip install pymysql
import pymysql
fwiw, for a conda env:
conda install -c anaconda pymysql
If even sudo apt-get install python3-pymysql
does not work for you try this:
sudo python3 setup.py install
sudo apt-get install python3-pymysql
This command also works for me to install the package required for Flask app to tun on ubuntu 16x with WISG module on APACHE2 server.
BY default on WSGI uses python 3 installation of UBUNTU.
Anaconda custom installation won't work.
After trying a few things, and coming across PyMySQL Github, this worked:
sudo pip install PyMySQL
And to import use:
import pymysql
I tried installing pymysql on command prompt by typing
pip install pymysql
But it still dont work on my case, so I decided to try using the terminal IDE and it works.
I ran into the same problem earlier, but solved it in a way slightly different from what we have here. So, I thought I'd add my way as well. Hopefully, it will help someone!
sudo apt-get install mysql-client
didn't work for me. However, I have Homebrew already installed. So, instead, I tried:
brew install mysql-client
Now, I don't get the error any more.
Good luck!
I also got this error recently when using Anaconda on a Mac machine.
Here is what I found:
python3 -m pip install PyMySql,
pymysql module is under /Library/Python/3.7/site-packages
/opt/anaconda3/lib/python3.8/site-packages
Therefore, after copying pymysql module to the designated path, it runs correctly.
