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

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    For Python 2 x sudo pip install pymysql  For Python 3 x sudo pip3 install pymysql  For either running on Anaconda  sudo conda install pymysql  If that didn t work try APT  sudo apt-get install pymysql   If all else fails  install the package directly    Go to the PyMySQL page and download the zip file  Then  via the terminal  cd to your Downloads folder and extract the folder  cd into the newly extracted folder  Install the setup py file with  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

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
