How to install Python MySQLdb module using pip

Question

How can I install the MySQLdb module for Python using pip

User · Answer

Many of the given answers here are quite confusing so I will try to put it simply. It helped me to install this

pip install pymysql

and then use the following command in the python file

import pymysql as MySQLdb

This way you can use MySQLdb without any problems.

Starting from a fresh Ubuntu 14 04 2 system  these two commands were needed    apt-get install python-dev libmysqlclient-dev  pip install MySQL-python   Just doing the  pip install  by itself did not work   From http   codeinthehole com writing how-to-set-up-mysql-for-python-on-ubuntu

It s easy to do  but hard to remember the correct spelling   pip install mysqlclient   If you need 1 2 x versions  legacy Python only   use pip install MySQL-python  Note  Some dependencies might have to be in place when running the above command  Some hints on how to install these on various platforms   Ubuntu 14  Ubuntu 16  Debian 8 6  jessie   sudo apt-get install python-pip python-dev libmysqlclient-dev   Fedora 24   sudo dnf install python python-devel mysql-devel redhat-rpm-config gcc   Mac OS  brew install mysql-connector-c   if that fails  try  brew install mysql

I had problems installing the 64-bit version of MySQLdb on Windows via Pip  problem compiling sources    32bit version installed ok   Managed to install the compiled MySQLdb from the  whl file available from http   www lfd uci edu  gohlke pythonlibs     The  whl file can then be installed via pip as document in https   pip pypa io en latest user guide  installing-from-wheels  For example if you save in C   the you can install via  pip install c  MySQL python-1 2 5-cp27-none-win amd64 whl  Follow-up  if you have a 64bit version of Python installed  then you want to install the 64-bit AMD version of MySQLdb from the link above  i e  even if you have a Intel processor   If you instead try and install the 32-bit version  I think you get the unsupported wheel error in comments below

If you are unable to install mysqlclient you can also install pymysql   pip install pymysql  This works same as MySqldb  After that use pymysql all over instead of MySQLdb

User · Answer

The above answer is great  but there may be some problems when we using pip to install MySQL-python in Windows    for example It needs some files that are associated with Visual Stdio  One solution is  installing VS2008 or 2010      Obviously it cost too much   Another way is the answer of   bob90937   I am here to do something to add     with http   www lfd uci edu  gohlke pythonlibs  u can download many  Windows binaries of many scientific open-source extension packages for the official CPython distribution of the Python programming language   Back to topic we can choose the MySQL-python py2  or Mysqlclient py3    and use pip install   to install  it gives us Great convenience
