No module named MySQLdb

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.

Solution 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)

Solution 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

Solution 3:

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