I am trying to pip install
the MySQL-python
package, but I get an ImportError
.

Any ideas?
echo $PATH
say?
You can instead use the mysqlclient
package as a drop-in replacement for MySQL-python. It is a fork of MySQL-python
with added support for Python 3.
I had luck with simply
pip install mysqlclient
in my python3.4 virtualenv after
sudo apt-get install python3-dev libmysqlclient-dev
which is obviously specific to ubuntu/debian, but I just wanted to share my success :)
In Python 3, ConfigParser
has been renamed to configparser
for PEP 8 compliance. It looks like the package you are installing does not support Python 3.
sudo python3 -m pip install mysql-connector
and now it's working. Thanks for the hint @Longmang
Here is a code that should work in both Python 2.x and 3.x
Obviously you will need the six
module, but it's almost impossible to write modules that work in both versions without six.
try:
import configparser
except:
from six.moves import configparser
from six.moves import configparser
six.moves
is to "provide a consistent interface" to renamed modules; wrapping imports with a try
/except
when using six
defeats the point. Just use from six.moves import configparser
. Not that six is needed here; you could replace from six.moves import configparser
with import ConfigParser as configparser
in your except
block and achieve the same result without needing six
.
six
only a requirement for Python 2.X, but not Python 3.X.
six.moves
and the native name can be used directly for Python 2 as well.
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
MySQL-python is not supported on python3 instead of this you can use mysqlclient
If you are on fedora/centos/Red Hat
install following package
yum install python3-devel pip install mysqlclient
Compatibility of Python 2/3 for configparser
can be solved simply by six
library
from six.moves import configparser
If you are using CentOS, then you need to use
yum install python34-devel.x86_64 yum groupinstall -y 'development tools' pip3 install mysql-connector pip install mysqlclient
I was having the same problem. Turns out, I needed to install python3 devel on my centos. First, you need to search for the package that is compatible with your system.
yum search python3 | grep devel
Then, install the package as:
yum install -y python3-devel.x86_64
Then, install mysqlclient from pip
pip install mysqlclient
Do pip3 install PyMySQL
and then pip3 install mysqlclient
. Worked for me
Additional info:
Python 2x
import ConfigParser
Python 3x
import configparser
I got further with Valeres answer:
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
I would suggest to link the file instead of copy it. It is save to update. I linked the file to /usr/lib/python3/
directory.
Try this solution which worked fine for me.
Basically it's to reinstall/upgrade to latest version of mysql from brew, and then installing mysqlclient
or MySQL-Python
from global pip3
instead of virtualenv pip3
.
Then accessing the virtualenv
and successfully install mysqlclient
or MySQL-Python
.
I still have this issue, so I go to /usr/lib/python3.8 and type as sudoer:
cp configparser.py ConfigParser.py
You may have another python version than 3.8.
For me the following command worked:
sudo python3 -m pip install mysql-connector
Following @MaciejNg I tried making a copy, which didn't work:
sudo cp ./env/lib/python3.8/site-packages/configparser.py ./env/lib/python3.8/site-packages/ConfigParser.py
Because configparser.py
and ConfigParser.py
are identical, I renamed the file:
sudo mv ./env/lib/python3.8/site-packages/configparser.py ./env/lib/python3.8/site-packages/ConfigParser.py
how about checking the version of Python you are using first.
import six
if six.PY2:
import ConfigParser as configparser
else:
import configparser
from six.moves import configparser
I run kali linux- Rolling and I came across this problem ,when I tried running cupp.py in the terminal, after updating to python 3.6.0. After some research and trial I found that changing ConfigParser
to configparser
worked for me but then I came across another issue.
config = configparser.configparser() AttributeError: module 'configparser' has no attribute 'configparser'
After a bit more research I realised that for python 3 ConfigParser
is changed to configparser
but note that it has an attribute ConfigParser()
.
I was getting the same error on Mac OS 10, Python 3.7.6 & Django 2.2.7. I want to use this opportunity to share what worked for me after trying out numerous solutions.
Steps
Installed Connector/Python 8.0.20 for Mac OS from link Copy current dependencies into requirements.txt file, deactivated the current virtual env, and deleted it using; create the file if not already created with; touch requirements.txt copy dependency to file; python -m pip3 freeze > requirements.txt deactivate and delete current virtual env; deactivate && rm -rf
Kindly to see what is /usr/bin/python
pointing to
if it is pointing to python3 or higher
change to python2.7
This should solve the issue.
I was getting install error for all the python packages. Abe Karplus's solution & discussion gave me the hint as to what could be the problem. Then I recalled that I had manually changed the /usr/bin/python
from python2.7
to /usr/bin/python3.5
, which actually was causing the issue. Once I reverted
the same. It got solved.
MySQL-python
is overkill; use the Python 3 version of the library instead.
This worked for me
cp /usr/local/lib/python3.5/configparser.py /usr/local/lib/python3.5/ConfigParser.py
Success story sharing
libpython3.5-minimal
package (sudo apt-get install libpython3.5-minimal
).
