When I Try To Install 'PyGObject' With pip I Get an Error

When I am trying to install PyGObject I get an error. I am using Python 3.10 and Windows Command Prompt.

ERROR: Failed building wheel for PyGObject
Failed to build PyGObject
ERROR: Could not build wheels for PyGObject, which is required to install pyproject.toml-based projects

I had the same issue and the problem is that PyGObject needs to be compiled which will be done by default using Microsoft Visual Studio. This seems not to work. I also read somewhere that this won't work.
I managed to compile it using the instructions on https://pygobject.readthedocs.io/en/latest/getting_started.html but then got errors importing it into my project ('circular import'). Msys2 relies on python 3.9 by default, while I'm using 3.10. Could be related. Did not have time to look further, yet. So I'm happy for solutions to that :) Maybe will try changing to 3.9. later.

Have an error " error: command 'cl.exe' failed: No such file or directory"

Either install Microsoft Visual Studio with cl.exe in computer or add C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\bin" to PATH. Just didn't work for me.

I'm using Python 2.7 and Django 1.9.4. I want to integrate my Django application with MySQL 5.7 database and I executed:

on Windows 7 machine 64-bit.
And getting Error :

The easiest way is to use precompiled python packages, which can be found here http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#mysql-python

You need a C compiler on your system. The easiest way is to use the on Microsoft provides.

About Python :
First check is python running properly in command prompt.
If not Download and install python 2.7.
Once it is downloaded, you generally have to go to Control Panel > System > Advanced System Settings > Advanced Tab > Environment Variables > Path > Edit. Here you need to add the Windows path of your Python installation. As an example, mine is “C:\Python27”. If you don’t add this to the Path variable, you won’t be able to run Python from the command line and it’ll be annoying to test things.
Install pip :
Next, we should install pip, the Python package manager (some of this section is from experience some from this stackoverflow page). In case you were wondering, Python 3.4 already has pip installed with it! But if you don’t have it there are a few options. If you have easy_install on your machine, you can simply navigate to the Python27\Scripts directory and type:
easy_install.exe pip
This should install pip for you. If you don’t have easy_install, you can download a python script from here. Make sure to save that get-pip.py file as a .py file not .txt. You can then run the script:
python get-pip.py
Once pip is installed, you can add the directory where pip is to your path like we did before (probably something like “C:\Python27\Scripts”).
About MySQL:
pip install mysql-python
You may get the error Unable to find vcvarsall.bat either when installing pip or other packages (I got it from trying to install mysql-python package). This means Windows can’t find a C/C++ compiler (it’s looking for Visual Studio) which pip uses to install packages and install itself.
Finally test it :
You can check if mysql-python is correctly installed by going to the command prompt and typing:
C:\> python
>>>import MySQLdb

Done with alot of research, even downloaded unofficial windows binaries for python extensions - again made disappointment.
Finally, after trying simply following command and it worked.
easy_install mysql-python

Best way is to install mysqlclient in the case of getting errors in installing mysql-python. mysqlclient is a fork of it and hence it can be used as a substitute and it contains MySQLdb aswell. So, better go for it

MYSQLdb with Python 3.6

I'm having a very hard time installing MYSQLdb under Python 3.6. I've been fighting with this for about a day now and was hoping someone had a fix. Note I am running Windows 10, MY SQL Workbench 6.3, PyCharm 2016.3.2, and Python 3.6 as already mentioned. To begin with, when trying to execute code in PyCharm which includes an import of MYSQLdb, I'd get an error saying no module found. So, I of course tried to pip install basically every binary possible. For most, I'd get the following:

So, I even then tried installing the unofficial binary for 3.6 available at http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#numpy
This installed fine, but still no luck when executing in PyCharm.
Next, I went into preferences=>project interpreter in PyCharm and tried to install MYSQLdb directly from there. With that, I get this other error:
Collecting MySQLdb
Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement MySQLdb (from versions: )
No matching distribution found for MySQLdb
From my research this seems to happen a lot when using new releases of Python. Does anyone know of a workaround or when 3.6 will be supported?

try to use sqlalchemy that is fully suported for many ODBC driver. Insted of using mysqldb, mysqlconnector is better in python3.x. I migrated a project from sqlite to mysql server and work fine in python3.6
sqlalchemy offer a solution for connecting with another ODBC.

I had this same issue.
I followed the advice of another answer and got to SQLAlchemy using the pip below:
pip install SQLAlchemy
I have been unable to play with it yet, but it did install without error, so here is hoping!

I had this issue before and I found out that when using python 3.6 you just need to install mysqlclient:
1 - create a folder and than a virtualenv (virtualenv myvenv --python python3)
2 - Install the django version you want (pip install django==1.9.3)
3- Install mysqlclient (pip install mysqlclient)
If you go inside myvenv folder/lib/python3.6/site-packages you will see that MySQLdb module will be there.

Django mysqldb module fails to install on windows vista: Error loading MySQLdb module: No module named MySQLdb

I have this error from my installation of mysql-python module for django on a Windows Vista platform:
django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: Error loading MySQLdb module: No module named MySQLdb
I have gone through the errors 'spat' out and tried to locate the config-w.h file VC compiler is looking for but to no avail and I'm not sure what to do next (update VC compiler (v9) or remove version and stick with lower version 8 [already on system]).

I managed to get around the issue using easy_install instead. This solved my problem - do not rely solely on pip :)
