mysqlclient installation failed with error code 1

Problem
I am attempting to install mysqlclient via:
$ pip install mysqlclient
I receive the following error:
Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip-install-_kwgf7vk/mysqlclient/
Background
Python version: 3.6.6
OS: Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS
Virtualenv: I receive the same error both inside and outside of my virtual environment
Question
How can I successfully install mysql?

I saw a similar post somewhere else. The solution was:
sudo apt-get install python3.6-dev libmysqlclient-dev
activate the virtual environment and execute command
pip install mysqlclient
I don't know if it's gonna help but i hope it will.

As the official PyPi documentation suggests you need to have the following dependent libraries preinstalled
sudo apt-get install python-dev default-libmysqlclient-dev python3-dev
after that you could do a pip install mysqlclient

for linux mint : python3.7
$ sudo apt-get install python3.7-dev libmysqlclient-dev
$ sudo apt-get install libssl-dev
and then
$ pip install mysqlclient

How to update Python pip?

I've had to install Python packages and libraries using pip, but every time I do, it says I'm using an older version of pip, and that v18.1 is available by running the command
python -m pip install --upgrade pip
When I run this command, it just says the same thing. It apparently can't update itself because it's outdated. Is there any way to get around this, maybe by manually updating it?
Thanks in advance, community!
Update: The OS I'm using is currently Windows 10 and Python 3.6.4. The following screenshot is what outputs when running the command.

Upgrading pip
On Linux or macOS:
pip install -U pip
On Windows:
python -m pip install -U pip

Try with "python -m pip install --upgrade pip --user"
It worked with me and I am with Win10.

If you are on linux try this -
sudo su root
apt-get purge -y python-pip
wget https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py
python ./get-pip.py
apt-get install python-pip
or
sudo -H pip3 install --upgrade pip
sudo -H pip2 install --upgrade pip

On OS X this worked for me
python -m pip install --upgrade pip

Python - Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip-build-21ft0H/pandas

I'm using Centos 7 and Python 2.7.5. The problem is when I install Pandas, i got this error message
SystemError: Cannot compile 'Python.h'. Perhaps you need to install python-dev|python-devel.
----------------------------------------
Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip-build-21ft0H/pandas
I already tried a lot of solutions but no success even yum -y update.
Can't install via pip because of egg_info error

Distribute has been merged into Setuptools as of version 0.7. If you are using a version <=0.6, upgrade using pip install --upgrade setuptools or easy_install -U setuptools.

I already found the answer. I need to install python via RPM.
rpm -i ftp://195.220.108.108/linux/centos/7.1.1503/updates/x86_64/Packages/python-2.7.5-18.el7_1.1.x86_64.rpm

In my case for continuos integration work:
before_script:
- apk update && apk add python3-dev
- apk add --no-cache python3-dev libstdc++
- apk add --update curl gcc g++
- ln -s /usr/include/locale.h /usr/include/xlocale.h
- pip3 install numpy
- pip3 install pandas
- rm -rf /var/cache/apk/*
- python -V
- python -m pip install --upgrade pip
- python -m pip install --upgrade pip setuptools wheel --user --no-cache-dir

pip install -- upgrade pip python -m pip install pandas

following link solved my problem
https://googleapis/google-cloud-python#3884
You should try pip install --upgrade setuptools.

sudo apt-get install python-matplotlib
i used this when i got similar error during matplotlib install

simply execute this command :
sudo apt-get install python3.6-dev libmysqlclient-dev

I got this error while installing mysqlclient from pip3
So I executed command :
sudo apt-get install python3.6-dev libmysqlclient-dev
After executing this command i was able to install mysqlclient successfully
Note:- Version Number 3.6 is to be replaced by your python version

ImportError: No module named psycopg2

In installation process of OpenERP 6, I want to generate a config file with these commands:
cd /home/openerp/openerp-server/bin/
./openerp-server.py -s --stop-after-init -c /home/openerp/openerp-server.cfg
But it always showed the message: ImportError: No module named psycopg2
When I checked for psycopg2 package, it's already installed. Package python-psycopg2-2.4.5-1.rhel5.x86_64 is already installed to its latest version. Nothing to do. What's wrong with this? My server is CentOS, I've installed Python 2.6.7.

Step 1: Install the dependencies
sudo apt-get install build-dep python-psycopg2
Step 2: Run this command in your virtualenv
pip install psycopg2-binary
Ref: Fernando Munoz

Use psycopg2-binary instead of psycopg2.
pip install psycopg2-binary
Or you will get the warning below:
UserWarning: The psycopg2 wheel package will be renamed from release 2.8; in order to keep installing from binary please use "pip install psycopg2-binary" instead. For details see: http://initd.org/psycopg/docs/install.html#binary-install-from-pypi.
Reference: Psycopg 2.7.4 released | Psycopg

I faced the same issue and resolved it with following commands:
sudo apt-get install libpq-dev
pip install psycopg2

Try installing
psycopg2-binary
with
pip install psycopg2-binary --user

Please try to run the command import psycopg2 on the python console. If you get the error then check the sys.path where the python look for the install module. If the parent directory of the python-psycopg2-2.4.5-1.rhel5.x86_64 is there in the sys.path or not. If its not in the sys.path then run export PYTHONPATH=<parent directory of python-psycopg2-2.4.5-1.rhel5.x86_64> before running the openerp server.

Import Error on Mac OS
If psycopg2 is getting installed but you are unable to import it in your .py file then the problem is libpq, its linkages, and the library openssl, on which libpq depends upon. The overall steps are reproduced below. You can check it step by step to know which is the source of error for you and then you can troubleshoot from there.
Check for the installation of the openssl and make sure it's working.
Check for installation of libpq in your system it may not have been installed or not linked. If not installed then install it using the command brew install libpq. This installs libpq library. As per the documentation
libpq is the C application programmer's interface to PostgreSQL. libpq is a set of library functions that allow client programs to pass queries to the PostgreSQL backend server and to receive the results of these queries.
Link libpq using brew link libpq, if this doesn't work then use the command: brew link libpq --force.
Also put in your .zshrc file the following export PATH="/usr/local/opt/libpq/bin:$PATH". This creates all the necessary linkages for libpq library .
Now restart the terminal or use the following command source ~/.zshrc.
Now use the command pip install psycopg2. It will work.
This works, even when you are working in conda environment.
N.B. pip install psycopg2-binaryshould be avoided because as per the developers of the psycopg2 library
The use of the -binary packages in production is discouraged because in the past they proved unreliable in multithread environments. This might have been fixed in more recent versions but I have never managed to reproduce the failure.

Try with these:
virtualenv -p /usr/bin/python3 test_env
source test_env/bin/activate
pip install psycopg2
run python and try to import if you insist on installing it on your systems python try:
pip3 install psycopg2

Recently faced this issue on my production server. I had installed pyscopg2 using
sudo pip install psycopg2
It worked beautifully on my local, but had me for a run on my ec2 server.
sudo python -m pip install psycopg2
The above command worked for me there. Posting here just in case it would help someone in future.

sudo pip install psycopg2-binary

You need to install the psycopg2 module.
On CentOS:
Make sure Python 2.7+ is installed. If not, follow these instructions: http://toomuchdata.com/2014/02/16/how-to-install-python-on-centos/
# Python 2.7.6:
$ wget http://python.org/ftp/python/2.7.6/Python-2.7.6.tar.xz
$ tar xf Python-2.7.6.tar.xz
$ cd Python-2.7.6
$ ./configure --prefix=/usr/local --enable-unicode=ucs4 --enable-shared LDFLAGS="-Wl,-rpath /usr/local/lib"
$ make && make altinstall
$ yum install postgresql-libs
# First get the setup script for Setuptools:
$ wget https://bitbucket.org/pypa/setuptools/raw/bootstrap/ez_setup.py
# Then install it for Python 2.7 and/or Python 3.3:
$ python2.7 ez_setup.py
$ easy_install-2.7 psycopg2
Even though this is a CentOS question, here are the instructions for Ubuntu:
$ sudo apt-get install python3-pip python-distribute python-dev
$ easy_install psycopg2
Cite: http://initd.org/psycopg/install/

For python3 on ubuntu, this worked for me:
$sudo apt-get update
$sudo apt-get install libpq-dev
$sudo pip3 install psycopg2-binary

i have the same problem, but this piece of snippet alone solved my problem.
pip install psycopg2

Run into the same issue when I switch to Ubuntu from Windows 10.. the following worked for me.. this after googling and trying numerous suggestions for 2 hours...
sudo apt-get install libpq-dev
then
pip3 install psycopg2
I hope this helps someone who has encountered the same problem especially when switching for windows OS to Linux(Ubuntu).

I have done 2 things to solve this issue:
use Python 3.6 instead of 3.8.
change Django version to 2.2 (may be working with some higher but I change to 2.2)

For Python3
Step 1: Install Dependencies
sudo apt-get install python3 python-dev python3-dev
Step 2: Install
pip install psycopg2

check correctly if you had ON your virtual env of your peoject, if it's OFF then make it ON. execute following cammands:
workon <your_env_name>
python manage.py runserver
It's working for me

It's very simple, not sure why nobody mentioned this for mac before.
brew install postgresql
pip3 install psycopg2
In simple terms, psycopg2 wants us to install postgres first.
PS: Don't forget to upvote, so that it can help other people as well.

Solved the issue with below solution :
Basically the issue due to _bz2.cpython-36m-x86_64-linux-gnu.so Linux package file. Try to find the the location.
Check the install python location ( which python3)- Example: /usr/local/bin/python3
copy the file under INSTALL_LOCATION/lib/python3.6
cp -rvp /usr/lib64/python3.6/lib-dynload/_bz2.cpython-36m-x86_64-linux-gnu.so /usr/local/lib/python3.6

try:
pip install psycopg2 --force-reinstall --no-cache-dir

Python2 importerror no module named psycopg2
pip install psycopg2-binary
Requirement already satisfied...
Solved by following steps:
sudo curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/pip/2.7/get-pip.py -o get-pip.py
sudo python get-pip.py
sudo python -m pip install psycopg2-binary

pip install psycopg-binary
The line above helped me

For Python3 use this:
sudo apt-get install -y python3-psycopg2

Error: No module named psycopg2.extensions

I am trying to set up a PostgreSQL database for my django project, which I believe I have done now thanks to the replies to my last question Problems setting up a postgreSQL database for a django project. I am now trying to run the command 'python manage.py runserver' in Terminal to get my localhost up but when I run the command, I see this response...
Error: No module named psycopg2.extensions
I'm not sure what this means - I have tried to download psycopg2 but can't seem to find a way to download psycopg2 using homebrew. I have tried easy_install, pip install and sudo but all return errors like this...
Downloading http://www.psycopg.org/psycopg/tarballs/PSYCOPG-2-4/psycopg2-2.4.5.tar.gz

How to fix this?

The first thing to do is to install the dependencies.
sudo apt-get build-dep python-psycopg2
sudo apt install python3-psycopg2 # Python 3
After that go inside your virtualenv and use:
pip install psycopg2-binary
These two commands should solve the problem.

pip install psycopg2-binary
The psycopg2 wheel package will be renamed from release 2.8; in order to keep installing from binary please use "pip install psycopg2-binary" instead. For details see: http://initd.org/psycopg/docs/install.html#binary-install-from-pypi.

For Django 2 and python 3 install psycopg2 using pip3 :
pip3 install psycopg2

I installed it successfully using these commands:
sudo apt-get install libpq-dev python-dev
pip install psycopg2

For macOS Mojave just run pip install psycopg2-binary. Works fine for me, python version -> Python 3.7.2

first install apt-get install python-setuptools
then try easy_install psycopg2

This is what helped me on Ubuntu if your python installed from Ubuntu installer. I did this after unsuccessfully trying 'apt-get install' and 'pip install':
In terminal:
sudo synaptic
then in synaptic searchfield write
psycopg2
choose
python-psycopg2
mark it for installation using mouse right-click and push 'apply'. Of course, if you don't have installed synaptic, then first do:
sudo apt-get install synaptic

I ran into this same issues recently and this code worked.
sudo apt-get install libpq-dev python-dev-is-python3
Then
pip3 install psycopg2

In python 3.4, while in a virtual environment, make sure you have the build dependencies first:
sudo apt-get build-dep python3-psycopg2
Then install it:
pip install psycopg2

On Alpine Linux (majority of the docker containers) do:
apk add postgresql-dev
Then:
pip install psycopg2-binary

pip3 install django-psycopg2-extension
I know i am late and there's lot of answers up here which also solves the problem. But today i also faced this problem and none of this helps me. Then i found the above magical command which solves my problem :-P . so i am posting this as it might be case for you too.
Happy coding.

I used the extension after only importing psycopg2:
import psycopg2
...
psycopg2.extensions.AsIs(anap[i])

It seems that you need gcc-4.0, and it would be helpful to specify your OS type and version.
Maybe this question will help you a bit: Installing GCC to Mac OS X Leopard without installing Xcode
Update
I'm a Windows user, so I can't test your setup, but a quick google pointed to some more links:
http://hardlifeofapo.com/psycopg2-and-postgresql-9-1-on-snow-leopard/
Cannot install psycopg2 on OSX 10.6.7 with XCode4

I encountered the No module named psycopg2.extensions error when trying to run pip2 install psycopg2 on a Mac running Mavericks (10.9). I don't think my stack trace included a message about gcc, and it also included a hint:
Error: pg_config executable not found.
Please add the directory containing pg_config to the PATH
or specify the full executable path with the option:
python setup.py build_ext --pg-config /path/to/pg_config build ...
or with the pg_config option in 'setup.cfg'.
I looked for the pg_config file in my Postgres install and added the folder containing it to my path: /Applications/Postgres.app/Contents/Versions/9.4/bin. Your path may be different, especially if you have a different version of Postgres installed - I would just poke around until you find the bin/ folder. After doing this, the installation worked.

try this: sudo pip install -i https://testpypi.python.org/pypi psycopg2==2.7b2
.. this is especially helpful if you're running into egg error
on aws ec2 instances if you run into gcc error; try this
1. sudo yum install gcc python-setuptools python-devel postgresql-devel
2. sudo su -
3. sudo pip install psycopg2

This one worked for me
python manage.py migrate

I had such problem when trying to run python script as a sudo, while psycopg2 was installed via pip3 to my own user's directory.
I managed to resolve the issue for myself removing pip3 version, and just installing it via apt:
pip3 uninstall psycopg2
sudo apt install python3-psycopg2

you can install gcc for macos from https://github.com/kennethreitz/osx-gcc-installer
after instalation of gcc you'll be able to install psycopg with easy_install or with pip

Check if you have installed psycopg2 if not
sudo apt-get install psycopg2
Install the dependencies.
sudo apt-get build-dep python-psycopg2
These two commands should solve the problem.

This error raise because you not install postgres database in you project virtutal environment. you should run one of these command.
from a terminal you can you command for sudo.
sudo apt-get install build-dep python-psycopg2
for pip (pip basically work for python)
pip install psycopg2
or
pip3 install psycopg2-binary
i'm pretty sure it will work for you.
