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
I've installed Python 2.7.9, which comes with already bundled with pip. I've check that it's there in the modules list.
But when I run pip install
I get
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
With install highlighted as the error?
What am I doing wrong?
Seems like you are running pip install from Python interactive console. Instead, you should run it from Windows console (cmd or PowerShell):
python2.exe -m pip install <package_name>
Where python2.exe is executable for Python2.7.9 (you may need to include full path to the executable file) and <package_name> is the name of package you want to install
Append C:\Python27\Scripts;in PATH variable
where C:\Python27\Scripts; is the path where pip script is located.
I faced the same issue and got to know that the error is because it is not able to find the pip.exe to execute.
You need to check the path : C:\Python27\Scripts
There, you will find the .exe file and if you run the command from that folder, the command should not give you the error or while running the command, please provide entire path instead of just pip command.
just put python before pip
python pip install <package_name>
To install try the following command:
python.exe -m install web.py
what i would suggest is navigate to the location where pip is located and try with the following command :
Pip install

Probably you want to install Python Modules? I really did many tries, So Finally reached on point to install Python3.6. It offers most easiest way to install it's modules, Try this way
https://stackoverflow.com/a/46652413/8145641
Soon's anwser worked for me, with slight difference, without 2 after python:
python.exe -m pip install <package_name>
What I don't understand, is that this should be equal to the command in interactive console as following, isn't it ?
pip -m install <pachage_name>
I have read posts on here but something doesn't seem to work. I am new to Python dev. I am running windows 7 64bit.
I am trying to install pip which I have downloaded and have easy_install in my c:\python27\scripts directory. When I use powershell and type
"python easy_install pip"
I get the error message:
"can't open file easy_install": [Errno 2] No such file or directory.
This seems odd as I can see the easy_install.exe is in that directory.
I have added c:\python27\scripts to my system PATH but, to be honest, I am not sure if this is right.
Could someone please help?
Thank you.
The selected answer dint fix it
This did:
python -m pip install -U pip
The best way to fix this is to compile easy_install yourself. First download the source code, and then compile it using python.
1 - Go here.
2 - Then extract the file, using 7-zip, or any software that can unzip a tar file. This is a tar.gz file, so after one extraction, it will give you the tar file, and then it will give you the actual directory and files for setup tools
3 - Go into the directory where you stored the contents of the extraction (using command prompt). For example, if you stored the directory on your desktop, you cd Desktop and then you go
cd dir_where_easy_install_is.
4 - Then run this command python setup.py install
That will install easy_install for you.
5 - Go back to your command line again, and then just type in easy_install pip, and that will install pip.
Then go ahead, and test it out, by installing django, just go into your command prompt, and enter this pip install django. After the download and the install, type in pip list, and see if django is in there. If it is, then pip has been successfully installed.
This worked running python from it's main dir against the easy_install.py in the extracted setuptools directory.
Then pip files should be in the Scripts dir.
Don't forget to run your CMD as administrator.
