mysqlclient
This is a fork of MySQLdb1.
This project adds Python 3 support and bug fixes. I hope this fork is merged back to MySQLdb1 like distribute was merged back to setuptools.
Install
Prerequisites
You may need to install the Python and MySQL development headers and libraries like so:
sudo apt-get install python-dev libmysqlclient-dev
# Debian / Ubuntu
sudo yum install python-devel mysql-devel
# Red Hat / CentOS
On Windows, there are binary wheel you can install without MySQLConnector/C or MSVC.
Note on Python 3 : if you are using python3 then you need to install python3-dev using the following command :
sudo apt-get install python3-dev
# debian / Ubuntu
sudo yum install python3-devel
# Red Hat / CentOS
Install from PyPI
pip install mysqlclient
NOTE: Wheels for Windows may be not released with source package. You should pin version
in your requirements.txt
to avoid trying to install newest source package.
