error installing mysqlclient

[Adam Weremczuk]

Hi all,

I have been trying to install on Debian 9 following: https://www.reviewboard.org/docs/manual/3.0/admin/installation/linux/

Everything was going fine until:

 sudo pip install -U mysqlclient

DEPRECATION: Python 2.7 reached the end of its life on January 1st, 2020. Please upgrade your Python as Python 2.7 is no longer maintained. pip 21.0 will drop support for Python 2.7 in January 2021. More details about Python 2 support in pip, can be found at https://pip.pypa.io/en/latest/development/release-process/#python-2-support

Mysql-server (mariadb-server) is already installed.
Installing mysql-client doesn't make this error go away.

Any idea?

Cheers,

I've tried "sudo pip install pymysql" instead which installed fine.

Now when running "rb-site install" I'm not presented with MySQL / MariaDB option at all:

* What database type will you be using?


    You can type either the name or the number from the list below.


    (1) sqlite3 (not supported for production use)


Database Type:

I'm not sure if it's related to mysqlclient or the other issue I've had: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/reviewboard/rm3UK8n5gbE/d_EOTcr8CQAJ

Hi Adam,

Try installing the mariadb-devel package from yum and then re-installing the mysqlclient Python package.

The pymysql package is not supported by Django (at least not the version used by Review Board).

I'll see about updating the docs for MariaDB.

Hi Christian,

I've figured this out myself.

"libmariadbclient-dev" appears to be working for MariaDB and "libmysqlclient-dev" for MySQL

Thanks,
Adam
