I've been using python for a while on my unix based machine, but I'm trying to use a windows machine now to install locally some of the packages I made.
What I normally do in unix navigate to the folder with setup.py and run the following command in terminal
python -m pip install -e .
On my windows machine I installed Windows Terminal, which uses powershell. Trying the same thing I get:
C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Temp\pip-build-env-bohtedqu\overlay\Lib\site-packages\setuptools\command\install.py:34: SetuptoolsDeprecationWarning: setup.py install is deprecated. Use build and pip and other standards-based tools.
warnings.warn(
error: cant create or remove files in install directory
Perhaps your account does not have write access to this directory? If the
installation directory is a system-owned directory, you may need to sign in
as the administrator or "root" account. If you do not have administrative
access to this machine, you may wish to choose a different installation
directory, preferably one that is listed in your PYTHONPATH environment
variable.
I've looked up how to fix this and nothing has worked. I've tried starting Windows Terminal as an administrator, get the same thing. I've also tried downloading gsudo and adding sudo to the start of my command, nothing changes. I'm really not that familiar with python on windows so I might be doing something incredibly dumb, any advice is appreciated.
Run cmd as administrator and activate super administrator as 'net user administrator /active:yes'. Restart your system as super administrator .Hope that will solve problem.
I have a dev Linux server (RHEL) which doesn't have any internet connectivity where we need to develop a python application. I can connect to this dev box from my local Windows server where I have internet connection.
I would need to install python-3.75 and some other packages (some of which need gcc compilers and other dependencies) on this dev box.
What is the best way to do this considering that some packages will have many dependencies and there is no internet on the dev box ?
Some options that the internet research suggests for package installation are:
Download the packages using PIP DOWNLOAD on the local server > copy the package tar to the dev server > pip install package
download and unpack the source distribution > using the setup.py file of the package: run python setup.py install --user
Install using Wheels: Find the wheel for the package > upload it to the dev server > run pip install SomePackage.whl
Please let me know which one of these is good considering the limitations and kindly suggest if there is any other option as well.
Its kinda late but for those who may need it:
To start installing we need a virtual online server to download and configure file.
You can use VMware or VirtualBox to go through this procedure.
Steps below are the ones that you should do on server with internet connection.
First, we go to https://www.python.org/downloads/source/ and find our required version of python and download Gzipped source tarball of it.
Then we copy downloaded file to our target machine. You can copy using command below.
scp file username#ipaddress:dir
Then go to your specified dir and make sure the file has copied successfully. Now you can unzip the file using command below:
Tar -xvf file_name
Now go to unzipped folder which has configure file in it. And run command below:
./configure
This step needs internet connection.
Step 4 should create some files including make files. Now in your current directory run command below:
make
After having make process, go back to your previous directory and zip the directory which has make files in it. You can zip using command below:
tar -czf
We are going to copy this file to our target machine which doesn’t have internet connection.
Copy zipped file using scp command to your target machine.
Now you can go to your target machine and directory that you copied zipped file and it’s time to unzip your file using tar command.
Once you unzipped your file go to your directory which has make files in it and run command below:
make install
it should begin to install Python with its dependencies.
You can type python3.8 –version to make sure that your python is installed. (Instead of 3.8 type your own version)
Is there a way (list of manual steps) to migrate 3rd party modules installed in one python installation on one machine to another machine?
This would be of great help to me because I have installed the list of 3rd party modules in one of my machines (using pip tool) and I want to migrate this setup to another machine where I cannot install using pip (due to network restrictions).
As schlamar said here:
Here is a completely different suggestion, this is recommended if you
want to synchronize the packages between the two PCs and not cloning
everything just once.
It only works if you install packages with pip. It does not work for
packages which are not installable/installed with pip.
Set up the pip cache to a network storage / USB stick which is accessible from both PCs (see https://stackoverflow.com/a/4806458/851737 for instructions)
Freeze your current package environment from the source PC into a requirements file:
$ pip freeze > req.txt
Copy the req file to the target PC and install the packages:
$ pip install -r req.txt
If you put the req.txt under a VCS you can automate and synchronize
this process very smoothly.
Long story short, when I write the following:
sudo easy_install MySQL-python
I get the error
EnvironmentError: mysql_config not found
All right, so there are plenty of threads and the like on how to fix that, so I run this code:
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/mysql/bin
Then I rerun my sudo code:
sudo easy_install MySQL-python
Then I get the following error.
Setup script exited with error: command 'llvm-gcc-4.2' failed with exit status 1
Google/Stack Overflow that, and I am told to download a GCC package which I did the other day, 200 MB's or there-abouts and still no fix.
At this point I am lost, they say insanity is doing the same thing over and over while expecting a different result. Well, I've continually run the aforementioned code expecting a different result, so I'm not to far away from going insane.
At this point in my Python career, I am new to this, but I am willing to try pretty much anything to get this up and running.
If it helps I am officially running, Mac OS X 10.7.5, and I do have MAMP installed (is that an issue?)
Also, the other day when I was trying all of this for the first time I installed (reinstalled?) MySQL, so I'm really in a tough spot at this point.
Is there a fix?
I've racked my brain, searched Google, read Stack Overflow, and spent hours trying to figure this out to no avail.
Here's what I would install, especially if you want to use homebrew:
XCode and the command line tools (as suggested by #7stud, #kjti)
Install homebrew
brew install mysql-connector-c
pip install mysql-python
Another option is to use pymysql it is a pure Python client connection to MySQL so you don't have to mess around with compiling, a good exercise, but it can be frustrating if you are just trying to get something done. pymysql follows the same API as MySQLdb, it can essentially be used as a drop in replacement.
Also, it used to be that MySQLdb, did not work with Python 3, but this may have changed, pymysql didn't have that problem which also induced me to switch, this may have changed though. pymysql can be slower than MySQLdb but you'll have to see if you notice that, it is also under a different license (MIT for pymysql, GPL for MySQLdb)
For Python 3+ the mysql-python library is broken. Instead, use the mysqlclient library. Install with: pip install mysqlclient
It is a fork of mysql-python (also known as MySQLdb) that supports Python 3+
This library talks to the MySQL client's C-interface, and is faster than the pure-python pymysql libray.
Note: you will need the mysql-developer tools installed. An easy way to do this on a Mac is to run
brew install mysql-connector-c
to delegate this task to homebrew. If you are on linux, you can install these via the instructions at the mysqlclient github page.
Install mysql via homebrew, then you can install mysql python via pip.
pip install MySQL-python
It works for me.
I am using OSX -v 10.10.4. The solution above is a quick & easy.
Happening OSX does not have the connection library by default.
First you should install the connector:
brew install mysql-connector-c
Then install with pip mysql
pip install mysql-python
To install PyMySQL
install pip => sudo easy_install pip
install PyMySQL=> sudo easy_install-3.7 pymysql
terminal command to check whether installed or not => pip3 list
or
install PyMySQL=> sudo pip install PyMySQL
terminal command to check whether installed or not => pip3 list
MySQL
The macOS Sierra Public Beta’s didn’t play well with MySQL 5.7.x, but these issues are now resolved by using MySQL 5.7.16
MySQL doesn’t come pre-loaded with macOS Sierra and needs to be dowloaded from the MySQL site.
( https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/)
The latest version of MySQL 5.7.16 does work with the public release of macOS.
If you already have MySQL 5.7 and you have upgraded OS from El Capitan to Sierra I expect that to be ok, but will be interested if anyone comments on that.
Use the Mac OS X 10.11 (x86, 64-bit), DMG Archive version (works on macOS Sierra).
If you are upgrading from a previous OSX and have an older MySQL version you do not have to update it. One thing with MySQL upgrades always take a data dump of your database in case things go south and before you upgrade to macOS Sierra make sure your MySQL Server is not running.
When downloading you don’t have to sign up, look for » No thanks, just take me to the downloads! – go straight to the download mirrors and download the software from a mirror which is closest to you.
Once downloaded open the .dmg and run the installer.
When it is finished installing you get a dialog box with a temporary mysql root password – that is a MySQL root password not a macOS admin password, copy and paste it so you can use it. But I have found that the temporary password is pretty much useless so we’ll need to change it straight away.
You are also told:
If you lose this password, please consult the section How to Reset the Root Password in the MySQL reference manual.(https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/resetting-permissions.html)
Change the MySQL root password
Note that this is not the same as the root or admin password of macOS – this is a unique password for the mysql root user, use one and remember/jot down somewhere what it is.
Stop MySQL
sudo /usr/local/mysql/support-files/mysql.server stop
if stop throws permission issue
Check the error file first.
tail -f /usr/local/mysql/data/*.err
Do a complete shut down or kill the process. Confirm that no mysql process is running
mysqladmin -uroot shutdown
sudo killall mysqld
ps -ef | grep mysql
Give permisiions
sudo chown -RL root:mysql /usr/local/mysql
sudo chown -RL mysql:mysql /usr/local/mysql/data
chmod -R 755 /usr/local/mysql/data
chmod -R 755 /usr/local/mysql/data/accountname.local.pid
or Right click->get info and change the permission for
/usr/local/mysql/data
/usr/local/mysql/data/Pushparajas-MacBook-Pro.local.pid
Start mysql
sudo mysql.server start
Start it in safe mode:
sudo mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables
This will be an ongoing command until the process is finished so open another shell/terminal window, and log in with a password which is temporary generated:
mysql -u root -p
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
ALTER USER 'root'#'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'MyNewPass'
;
Change the lowercase ‘MyNewPass’ to what you want – and keep the single quotes.
\q
Start MySQL
sudo /usr/local/mysql/support-files/mysql.server start
Starting MySQL
You can then start the MySQL server from the System Preferences or via the command line.
Command line start MySQL.
sudo /usr/local/mysql/support-files/mysql.server start
To find the MySQL version from the terminal, type at the prompt:
/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql -v -uroot -p
This also puts you in to a shell interactive dialogue with mySQL, type \q to exit.
After installation, in order to use mysql commands without typing the full path to the commands you need to add the mysql directory to your shell path, (optional step) this is done in your “.bash_profile” file in your home directory, if you don’t have that file just create it using vi or nano:
cd ; nano .bash_profile
export PATH="/usr/local/mysql/bin:$PATH"
The first command brings you to your home directory and opens the .bash_profile file or creates a new one if it doesn’t exist, then add in the line above which adds the mysql binary path to commands that you can run. Exit the file with type “control + x” and when prompted save the change by typing “y”. Last thing to do here is to reload the shell for the above to work straight away.
source ~/.bash_profile
mysql -v
You will get the version number again, just type “q” to exit.
Fix the 2002 MySQL Socket error
Fix the looming 2002 socket error – which is linking where MySQL places the socket and where macOS thinks it should be, MySQL puts it in /tmp and macOS looks for it in /var/mysql the socket is a type of file that allows mysql client/server communication.
sudo mkdir /var/mysql
sudo ln -s /tmp/mysql.sock /var/mysql/mysql.sock
phpMyAdmin
uncomment below line in httpd.conf file
LoadModule php7_module libexec/apache2/libphp7.so
First fix the 2002 socket error if you haven’t done so from the MySQL section-
sudo mkdir /var/mysql
sudo ln -s /tmp/mysql.sock /var/mysql/mysql.sock
Download phpMyAdmin, (https://www.phpmyadmin.net/downloads/) the zip English package will suit a lot of users, then unzip it and move the folder with its contents into the document root level(~/Sites/) renaming folder to ‘phpmyadmin’.
Make the config folder
mkdir ~/Sites/phpmyadmin/config
Change the permissions
chmod o+w ~/Sites/phpmyadmin/config
Run the set up in the browser
http://localhost/~username/phpmyadmin/setup/ or http://localhost/phpmyadmin/setup/
You need to create a new localhost mysql server connection, click new server.
Switch to the Authentication tab and set the local mysql root user and the password.
Add in the username “root” (maybe already populated, add in the password that you set up earlier for the MySQL root user set up, click on save and you are returned to the previous screen.
(This is not the macOS Admin or root password – it is the MySQL root user).
Make sure you click on save, then a config.inc.php is now in the /config directory of phpmyadmin directory, move this file to the root level of /phpmyadmin and then remove the now empty /config directory.
In the latest phpmyadmin, download the config.inc.php and place in phpmyadmin directory.
If you want to setup new server move config.inc.php to some location and try http://localhost/~username/phpmyadmin/setup
Now going to http://localhost/~username/phpmyadmin/ will now allow you to interact with your MySQL databases.
To upgrade phpmyadmin just download the latest version and copy the older ‘config.inc.php‘ from the existing directory into the new folder and replace – backup the older one just in case.
Permissions
To run a website with no permission issues it is best to set the web root and its contents to be writeable by all, since it’s a local development it shouldn’t be a security issue.
Lets say that you have a site in the User Sites folder at the following location ~/Sites/testsite you would set it to be writeable like so:
sudo chmod -R a+w ~/Sites/testsite
If you are concerned about security then instead of making it world writeable you can set the owner to be Apache _www but when working on files you would have to authenticate more as admin you are “not” the owner, you would do this like so:
sudo chown -R _www ~/Sites/testsite
This will set the contents recursively to be owned by the Apache user.
If you had the website stored at the System level Document root at say ~/Sites/testsite then it would have to be the latter:
sudo chown -R _www ~/Sites/testsite
Another easier way to do this if you have a one user workstation is to change the Apache web user from _www to your account.
That’s it! You now have the native AMP stack running on top of macOS Sierra.

On Mojave, I ran into errors with finding the SSL libraries, here's what finally worked without having to modify mysql_config:
sudo pip install MySQL-Python --global-option=build_ext --global-option="-I/usr/local/opt/openssl/include" --global-option="-L/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib"
Hopefully that will save someone a few hours of heartache
It's time to be a big boy and install from source. Try this:
1) Download the MySQL-python-1.X.X.tar.gz file(by default will go to your Downloads directory)
2) Open a Terminal window and cd to the Downloads directory.
3) Unzip the file you downloaded:
~/Downloads$ tar xfvz MySQL-python-1.X.X.tar.gz
That will create a directory inside your Downloads directory called MySQL-python
4) cd into the newly created directory.
5) Typically, you just open the file called README or INSTALL and follow the instructions--but generally to install a python module all you do is:
$ sudo python setup.py install
If you care to look, there should be a file called setup.py inside your newly created MySQL-python directory, and you are invoking that program to install the module.
Also note that this:
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/mysql/bin
is not permanent if you did that on the command line. You need to put that line in a file called .bashrc in your home directory (~/ or equivalently /Users/YOUR_USER_NAME). To see if .bashrc already exists(it's a hidden file), issue the command:
$ ls -al
and look for .bashrc. If .bashrc doesn't exist, then create it.
As others mentioned before me....getting Python to work with MySQL on a Mac is a ?##$#&%^!! nightmare.
Installed Django framework on Mac OS 10.7.5 initially from the original Django website and when the MySQLdb didn't work, and after many hours googling and trying solutions from SO, I have installed the Django stack from BitNami http://bitnami.com/stack/django
Still, got the issues mentioned above and then some more...
What helped me eventually is what Josh recommends on his blog: http://joshbranchaud.com/blog/2013/02/10/Errors-While-Setting-Up-Django.html
Now Python 2.7 is finally connected to MySQL 5.5
The issue you are having is that the gcc compiler is not installed on your Mac. It will be installed if you have installed XCode. You will have to download gcc complier and install it manually. Follow the below link and download it -
https://github.com/downloads/kennethreitz/osx-gcc-installer/GCC-10.7-v2.pkg
I once had this problem installing Ruby 1.9 and I had to compile ruby for myself because Mountain Lion wasn't supported at that time. After installing the package, verify the install by the command gcc.
I am using Python 2.7.11 :: Anaconda 2.3.0 (x86_64) on Mac OS X 10.11.4 15E65.
You may want to follow the steps below:
Install homebrew
Open a terminal and run: brew install mysql-connector-c
pip install mysql-python
Then the Anaconda will have the mysql-python installed and you can start with MySQLdb then.
Good luck. Thanks.
Above all, I can't solve it. But I add file to /usr/local/include solve it.
https://github.com/peterlee0304/MySQL-Python/blob/master/my_config.h
In /usr/local/include, add a my_config.h file.
Then pip install MySQL-Python
Solve it!
What worked for me is:
LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib pip install mysql-python
the below may be help.
brew install mysql-connector-c
CFLAGS =-I/usr/local/Cellar/mysql-connector-c/6.1.11/include pip install MySQL-python
brew unlink mysql-connector-c
I used PyMySQL instead and its working fine!
