What can I do to resolve this?
It seems mysql_config is missing on your system or the installer could not find it.
Be sure mysql_config is really installed.
For example on Debian/Ubuntu you must install the package:
sudo apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev
Maybe the mysql_config is not in your path, it will be the case when you compile by yourself
the mysql suite.
Update: For recent versions of debian/ubuntu (as of 2018) it is
sudo apt install default-libmysqlclient-dev
In Mac OS, I simply ran this in terminal to fix:
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/mysql/bin
This is the quickest fix I found - it adds it to the path, but I think you're better off adding it permanently (ie add it to /etc/paths) if you plan to install MySQL-python in another environment.
(tested in OSX Mountain Lion)
There maybe various answers for the above issue, below is a aggregated solution.
For Ubuntu:
$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt install python-dev
$ sudo apt install python-MySQLdb
For CentOS:
$ yum install python-devel mysql-devel
apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev python-dev
Seemed to do the trick.
If you are on MAC
Install this globally
brew install mysql
then export path like this
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/mysql/bin
Than globally or in your venv whatever you like
pip install MySQL-Python
Note: globally for python3 as Mac can have both python2 & 3
pip3 install MySQL-Python
You can use the MySQL Connector/Python
Installation via PyPip
pip install mysql-connector-python
Further information can be found on the MySQL Connector/Python 1.0.5 beta announcement blog.
On Launchpad there's a good example of how to add-, edit- or remove data with the library.
For centos users:
yum install -y mysql-devel python-devel python-setuptools
then
pip install MySQL-python
If this solution doesn't work, and print gcc compile error like:
_mysql.c:29:20: error: Python.h: No such file or directory
You need to specify the path of Python.h, like this:
pip install --global-option=build_ext --global-option="-I/usr/include/python2.6" MySQL-python
I was trying to install mysql-python on an Amazon EC2 Linux instance and I had to install these :
yum install mysql mysql-devel mysql-common mysql-libs gcc
But then I got this error :
_mysql.c:29:20: fatal error: Python.h: No such file or directory
So I installed :
yum install python-devel
And that did the trick.
For anyone that is using MariaDB instead of MySQL, the solution is to install the libmariadbclient-dev package and create a symbolic link to the config file with the correct name.
For example this worked for me:
ln -s /usr/bin/mariadb_config /usr/bin/mysql_config
For Linux
this works for me
yum install python-devel mysql-devel
Try sudo apt-get build-dep python-mysqldb
OSX Mavericks
Due to changes within osx mavericks & xcode development tools you may get the error on installation
clang: error: unknown argument: '-mno-fused-madd' [-Wunused-command-line-argument-hard-error-in-future]
therefore use :
sudo ARCHFLAGS=-Wno-error=unused-command-line-argument-hard-error-in-future pip install mysql-python
for mariadb install libmariadbclient-dev instead of libmysqlclient-dev
sudo apt-get install libmariadbclient-dev
You should install the mysql first:
yum install python-devel mysql-community-devel -y
Then you can install mysqlclient:
pip install mysqlclient
I had the same problem in the Terraform:light container. It is based on Alpine.
There you have to install mariadb-dev with:
apk add mariadb-dev
But that one is not enough because also all the other dependencies are missed:
apk add python2 py2-pip gcc python2-dev musl-dev
sometimes the error depends on the actual cause. we had a case where mysql-python was installed through the python-mysqldb debian package.
a developer who didn't know this, accidentally ran pip uninstall mysql-python and then failed to recover with pip install mysql-python giving the above error.
pip uninstall mysql-python had destroyed the debian package contents, and of course pip install mysql-python failed because the debian package didn't need any dev files.
the correct solution in that case was apt-get install --reinstall python-mysqldb which restored mysql-python to its original state.
Sequence to be followed.
pip install mysqlclient
sudo apt-get install python3-dev libmysqlclient-dev
pip install configparser
sudo cp /usr/lib/python3.6/configparser.py /usr/lib/python3.6/ConfigParser.py
Then try to install the MYSQL-python again. That Worked for me
On Mac:
brew install mysql-client
locate mysql
mdfind mysql | grep bin
then add to path
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/Cellar/mysql-client/8.0.23/bin/
or permanently
echo "export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/Cellar/mysql-client/8.0.23/bin/" >> ~/.zshrc
source ~/.zshrc
Had a similar issue trying to install on OS X Server 10.6.8. Here's what I had to do.
Using:
MySQL-python 1.2.4b4 (source)
MySQL-5.6.19 (binary installer)
Python 2.7 (binary installer)
NOTE: Installing in virtualenv...
Unzip source, open 'distribute_setup.py' and edit DEFAULT_VERSION to use the latest version of distribute tools, like so:
DEFAULT_VERSION = "0.6.49"
Save. Open 'site.cfg' file and uncomment the path to mysql_config so it looks something like (reference your own path to mysql_config):
# The path to mysql_config.
# Only use this if mysql_config is not on your PATH, or you have some weird
# setup that requires it.
mysql_config = /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config
Now clean, build and make will not fail with the 'mysql_config' not found error.
Hope this helps someone else trying to make use of their old xserves :-)
Your sudo path does not know about your local path... go into superuser mode, add the path, and install it from there.
sudo su
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/mysql/bin/
pip install mysql-python
exit
And you're up and running on OSX. Now you have an updated global python.
if you install MySQL-python in your virtual env, you should check the pip version, if the version is older than 9.0.1, please update it
pip install --upgrade pip

my macos version is BigSur(14.4), and mysql version is mysql8. It seems like in the higher version of mysql, they delete the my_config.h files but change to the mysql.h.
so your guys should run the following shell:
cd /usr/local/include/mysql
cp mysql.h my_config.h
after that, run pip install MySQL-python and everything will be ok.
on MacOS Mojave, mysql_config is found at /usr/local/bin/ rather than /usr/local/mysql/bin as pointed above, so no need to add anything to path.
In my case my database is running on container and my flask app is running on another container when i tried updating code app got broke with error

because where my flask app is running doesn't have mysql client properly configured so first i installed mysql server and then install
sudo apt-get install mysql-server-5.7 -y
Then started MySQL
mansoor#LARC-mansur:~/Documents/clients/HR/DevopsSimulator/web$ sudo systemctl start mysql
Then install flask-mysql package and this time it worked
mansoor#LARC-mansur:~/Documents/clients/HR/DevopsSimulator/web$ sudo pip3 install flask-mysqldb
This is different case but posting here because may be someone else in the world facing same issue

&tldr;
On an RPM-based distro, you use RPM packages as much as possible.
Never run pip as root user
You must not use pip as root user (or asking for trouble).
There is a whole infrastructure of Python packages installable through yum and this is what you should use.
You can still use pip to install Python modules, but only in very rare cases when a Python module is not available as a package. In that case you must use pip inside a virtual Python environment. Your case is such.
Make sure you have fixed yum for base, EPEL and set up SCLO repositories, since CentOS 6 is EOL.
Then:
# Ensure EPEL repository
yum -y install epel-release
# fix EPEL repo due to EOL:
curl https://www.getpagespeed.com/files/centos6-epel-eol.repo --output /etc/yum.repos.d/epel.repo
yum -y install centos-release-scl-rh
# don't forget to fix repository configuration due to EOL:
curl https://www.getpagespeed.com/files/centos6-scl-eol.repo --output /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-SCLo-scl.repo
curl https://www.getpagespeed.com/files/centos6-scl-rh-eol.repo --output /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-SCLo-scl-rh.repo
# install python 3.6 from Software collection packages (installing virtualenv will pick up both the base python and its pip package)
yum -y install rh-python36-python-virtualenv
Now you can create a virtual environment with any packages from pip, but you have to activate the software collection in your shell first, example:
. /opt/rh/rh-python36/enable
cd ${HOME}
# create "myapp" virtual environment
virtualenv myapp
# install desired packages using virtualenv's pip (will install to the virtualenv and not damage your system)
./myapp/bin/pip install cymysql
Do not go over pip version 20 on a Centos 6 system, otherwise wheels with precompiled c libraries will break.
Long story short, do this first:
pip install --upgrade pip==20.1.0
After that you can install cymysql

Could someone enlighten me how I can fix this? It would be super awesome if someone had a clue. I googled the issue and only found incomplete patches and it's messy. Probably a case for the bug tracker once this is fixed, too. I have this issue for all Python packages.
This is actually an issue with urllib3, not with pyopenssl. Debian lately compiles OpenSSL without SSLv3 support, and urllib3 just assumed that support was there.
The issue was fixed in commit b9b3b0102 which is part of the 1.10 release of urllib3.
As you are using urllib3 as part of requests, which in turn is used by pip, it should be enough to update to a recent version of requests. As of writing, the current version is 2.6.0 which contains the fix:
# pip install requests==2.6.0
You might encounter a problem upgrading requests, because of the chicken-egg problem. To fix this, you can try to temporarily remove the pyopenssl package, upgrade requests and reinstall pyopenssl.
Additionally you might want to use the following line to update pip before trying to update requests:
# sudo easy_install --upgrade pip
Another way to fix the problem is to use
sudo easy_install --upgrade pip
and use pip normally afterwards
I've received the same error.
In conjunction with the previous answers:
sudo easy_install --upgrade pip
I've also had to run:
sudo pip uninstall pyopenssl
sudo pip install mozdownload
This fixed my error, maybe it can help others. I came here by googling:
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'PROTOCOL_SSLv3'
I ran into this problem today with Ansible. I solved it with:
pip uninstall pyopenssl
maybe this will help someone else in the same situation
I received this error after an upgrade from Ubuntu 14 to 16. The upgrade changed some Python paths, which broke some core packages. This answer essentially fixed it for me.
sudo apt-get purge python-pkg-resources
sudo apt-get -f install
sudo rm -Rf /usr/local/bin/pip
sudo apt-get install python-pip
sudo pip install -U pip
I meet the same problems and I just uninstall the version of requests and install the exact version by using the following command.
pip install requests==2.6.0
then it works
I ran into this on a new Xenial and was unsuccessful w/many answers I had seen (some I really didn't try because most of my software was more current). What finally solved it for me was: sudo pip install requests --upgrade ... which is just a twist on the other request upgrade recommendation.
