how to install mysqldb connector, anaconda python distribution

[ms.szcz...@gmail.com]

Hi,

I am starting my journey with Python using anaconda distribution.
I want to install mysqldb connector, however when I try to do this by running mysql windows installer,  setup will not continue as it says I do not have python installed. How can I make it recognize and use my anaconda distribution?

Or are there any other better ways of installing mysqldb connector?
Thanks and best regards,
Michal

Same problem. Tried SQLAlchemy, which comes with Anaconda but the MySQL driver is missing.

If I try in Windows "pip install python-mysql" it will fail to compile it.

Have you tried the Windows installer from: http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#mysql-python

This one worked for me.

Hi ....

I have similar problem.  But I am using Mac OS X.  Can you help me find where can I get the mysqldb package to use it in Anaconda distribution.

Thanks

Bump. A noob like me really needs a step-by-step tutorial from a naked Anaconda install to connecting to a remote (non-localhost) database.

For just getting on with mysql access when faced with mysqldb installation issues, i've had decent success in the past with pymysql: http://www.pymysql.org  (buried but useful usage tip at: https://github.com/PyMySQL/PyMySQL/wiki/WhyPyMySQL ). Apparently SQLAlchemy also has a dialect for it, though i've only ever used it directly.

Anyhow might save you a headache, did for me!

Hello Sravani - did you ever get this issue resolved? I am dealing with the same thing in OSX 10.9

[sravan...@gmail.com]

I think I used the following command to install mysqldb on OSX 10.9

      sudo pip install mysql-python

Hope this works for you too.

Cheers,

Sravani

Hi,

same here! I'm new to Python. I'm running Anaconda on Ubuntu 12.
I've tried sudo apt-get install python-mysqldb and it seems to have been installed without any problem.

However when I try to import it get: ImportError: No module named MySQLdb

I have no idea how to solve this!

Thanks

conda install mysql-python

Worked for me.

Thanks, it does not work for me though.

And I have updated conda and anaconda to newest versions.

I am getting this:

Fetching package metadata: ..

Error: No packages found in current win-64 channels matching: mysql-python
