No module named MySQLdb

问题:

I am using Python version 2.5.4 and install MySQL version 5.0 and Django. Django is working fine with Python, but not MySQL. I am using it in Windows Vista.

回答1:

You need to use one of the following commands. Which one depends on what OS and software you have and use.

1. easy_install mysql-python (mix os)
2. pip install mysql-python (mix os/ python 2)
3. pip install mysqlclient (mix os/ python 3)
4. apt-get install python-mysqldb (Linux Ubuntu, ...)
5. cd /usr/ports/databases/py-MySQLdb && make install clean (FreeBSD)
6. yum install MySQL-python (Linux Fedora, CentOS ...)

For Windows, see this answer: Install mysql-python (Windows)

回答2:

...and remember there is no MySQLdb for python3.x

(I know the question is about python2.x but google rates this post quite high)

EDIT: As stated in the comments, there\'s a MySQLdb\'s fork that adds Python 3 support: github.com/PyMySQL/mysqlclient-python

回答3:

if your python version is 3.5, do a pip install mysqlclient, other things didn\'t work for me

回答4:

mysqldb is a module for Python that doesn\'t come pre-installed or with Django. You can download mysqldb here.

回答5:

Ubuntu:

sudo apt-get install python-mysqldb

回答6:

Note this is not tested for python 3.x

In CMD

pip install wheel
pip install pymysql

in settings.py

import pymysql
pymysql.install_as_MySQLdb()

It worked with me

回答7:

Try this.

pip install MySQL-python

回答8:

pip install PyMySQL

and then add this two lines to your Project/Project/init.py

import pymysql
pymysql.install_as_MySQLdb()

Works on WIN and python 3.3+

回答9:

If pip install mysqlclient produces an error and you use Ubuntu, try:

sudo apt-get install -y python-dev libmysqlclient-dev && sudo pip install mysqlclient

回答10:

• Go to your project directory with cd.
• source/bin/activate (activate your env. if not previously).
• Run the command easy_install MySQL-python

回答11:

I met the same situation under windows, and searched for the solution.

Seeing this post Install mysql-python (Windows).

It points out installing such a pip environment is difficult, needs many other dependencies.

But I finally know that if we use mysqlclient with a version down to 1.3.4, it don\'t need that requirements any more, so try:

pip install mysqlclient==1.3.4

回答12:

Thanks to derevo but I think there\'s another good way for doing this:

1. Download and install ActivePython
2. Open Command Prompt
3. Type pypm install mysql-python
4. Read the notes specific to this package.

I think pypm is more powerful and reliable than easy_install.

If you are running on Vista, you may want to check out the Bitnami Django stack. It is an all-in-one stack of Apache, Python, MySQL, etc. packaged with Bitrock crossplatform installers to make it really easy to get started. It runs on Windows, Mac and Linux. Oh, and is completely free :)

回答14:

I have tried methods above, but still no module named \'MySQLdb\', finally, I succeed with

easy_install mysql-python

my env is unbuntu 14.04

回答15:

On OSX these commands worked for me

brew install mysql-connector-c 
pip install MySQL-python

回答16:

If your are using SQLAlchemy and the error is in /site-packages/sqlalchemy/dialects/mysql/mysqldb.py:

from ...connectors.mysqldb import (
                        MySQLDBExecutionContext,
                        MySQLDBCompiler,
                        MySQLDBIdentifierPreparer,
                        MySQLDBConnector
                    )

so you may have missed mysqldb connector for SQLAlchemy and the solution is to re-install sqlalchemy after installing mysql-python module.

回答17:

for python 3 Ubuntu

sudo apt-get install -y python3-mysqldb
