I'm on OSX El Capitan, using Python 2.7 (Anaconda). Launching the command pip install MySQL-python yields:

pip install mysqlclient
easy_install MySQL-python
pip is up-to-date. I've basically tried to follow all suggestions in related questions, but none succeeded. Any help is appreciated, thanks!
Copy from this blog.
By finding out the information that mysql-connector-cmight come to the conclusion that the configuration by brew installation may be incorrect , open the /usr/local/bin/mysql_config script to modify some of the contents of it:
#Create options
Libs = "-L$pkglibdir "
Libs = "$libs -l"
change into:
#Create options
Libs = "-L$pkglibdir"
Libs = "$libs -lmysqlclient -lssl -lcrypto"
Save
Then re-install mysql-python:
pip install mysql-python
I met same error and solved with following instructions:
brew uninstall mysql-connector-c
brew install mysql
invoke "mysql_config --libs" and confirm its output include correct library options: "-L/usr/local/Cellar/mysql/5.7.20/lib -lmysqlclient -lssl -lcrypto"
export LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib && pip install mysqlclient
This solved my issue:
brew install mysql#5.7
brew link --force mysql#5.7
I got the same error while installing pip install MySql-python.
Then, I had installed libmysqlclient-dev using the command:
sudo apt install libmysqlclient-dev
After installing it, I tried again and pip install MySql-python
and it worked for me.
I am using python3 to install mysql-python package. So, when I run
pip install mysql-python,
it gives me error.
Tried using
pip install --upgrade setuptools
It shows

I guess you need to install the following:
pip install mysqlclient
In Python 3, ConfigParser has been renamed to configparser for PEP 8 compliance.
mysqlclient is a fork of mysql-python, with Python 3 support.
Kindly make sure you have installed the following before installing mysqlclient:
sudo apt-get install python3-dev libmysqlclient-dev
For Lunix and Mac Machines, install the mysqlclient pre-requisites via:
Debian / Ubuntu - sudo apt-get install python-dev default-libmysqlclient-dev
Red Hat / CentOS - sudo yum install python-devel mysql-devel
macOS (Homebrew) - brew install mysql-client
I tried to do this before that so after this it command work:
apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev
Trying to install from pipenv with:
pipenv install mysqlclient

I'm using a Debian and with another virtualenv it get the system package
python-mysqldb/testing,now 1.3.10-1 amd64
Pipenv won't use this one and won't install the other.
How can I solve this?
Thanks,BR
You probably need the mysql client lib for the OS.
sudo apt install libmysqlclient-dev
Then you should be able to:
pipenv install mysqlclient
I fixed that problem with the following command:
brew install mysql
First install python-dev
sudo apt-get install python3-dev
and then install mysqlclient-dev version
sudo apt-get install python3-dev libmysqlclient-dev
I would recommend you to install the file first.
On windows I used
pip install "mysqlclient-1.3.13-cp35-cp35m-win_amd64.whl"
and the tried:
pip install mysqlclient.
It worked well.
if you are on Centos
Try: yum install mariadb-devel
this package includes the missing mysql-config
Try:
sudo apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev
and then:
sudo apt-get install libmariadbclient-dev
My Ubuntu 10.04 came with Python 2.6. Now, I also installed Python 2.7, which is the system default now because when I start python from the terminal, it starts python 2.7.
Now, I want to install the library pysftp using pip, but I'm having a hard time doing so. Below follow some results of my attempts and conclusions. I did pip install pysftp, but it says the following:

It seems to me that pip (which was obviously installed before Python 2.7 was installed) links to the old version of Python, which doesn't support pysftp. Also because when I do pip --version it says:
pip 0.3.1 from /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages (python 2.6)
When I do whereis python, it gives me the following information:
python: /usr/src/Python-2.7.10/python /usr/bin/python2.6 /usr/bin/python /etc/python2.6 /etc/python /usr/lib/python2.6 /usr/lib/python3.1 /usr/lib64/python2.6 /usr/lib64/python3.1 /usr/local/bin/python2.7-config /usr/local/bin/python /usr/local/bin/python2.7 /usr/local/lib/python2.6 /usr/local/lib/python2.7 /usr/include/python2.6 /usr/share/python /usr/share/man/man1/python.1.gz
How can I install pysftp?
You need to reinstall pip for Python 2.7, then run pip2.7 install pysftp. You need a pip installation for each version of Python you want to use it with. The setuptools package is probably the easiest way to get going; you can simply run the following to do it all in one fell swoop:
wget https://bootstrap.pypa.io/ez_setup.py -O --no-check-certificate - | sudo python2.7 && sudo easy_install-2.7 pip && sudo pip2.7 install pysftp
Sometimes older Linux installs have issues with the above command, due to an "invalid" certificate encounted while downloading the full setuptools package via ez_setup.py (see here for more details). This can be circumvented with this alternative one-fell-swoop command:
wget https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/s/setuptools/setuptools-18.8.1.zip --no-check-certificate && unzip setuptools-18.8.1.zip && cd setuptools-18.8.1 && sudo python setup.py install && sudo easy_install-2.7 pip && sudo pip2.7 install pysftp
I think you need to install some sort of 'essentials package' using the code
sudo apt-get install build-essential libssl-dev libffi-dev python-dev
Then you can install :
sudo pip install pysftp
sudo pip install enum
This is the error I get

What can I do to resolve this?
It seems mysql_config is missing on your system or the installer could not find it.
Be sure mysql_config is really installed.
For example on Debian/Ubuntu you must install the package:
sudo apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev
Maybe the mysql_config is not in your path, it will be the case when you compile by yourself
the mysql suite.
Update: For recent versions of debian/ubuntu (as of 2018) it is
sudo apt install default-libmysqlclient-dev
In Mac OS, I simply ran this in terminal to fix:
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/mysql/bin
This is the quickest fix I found - it adds it to the path, but I think you're better off adding it permanently (ie add it to /etc/paths) if you plan to install MySQL-python in another environment.
(tested in OSX Mountain Lion)
There maybe various answers for the above issue, below is a aggregated solution.
For Ubuntu:
$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt install python-dev
$ sudo apt install python-MySQLdb
For CentOS:
$ yum install python-devel mysql-devel
apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev python-dev
Seemed to do the trick.
If you are on MAC
Install this globally
brew install mysql
then export path like this
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/mysql/bin
Than globally or in your venv whatever you like
pip install MySQL-Python
Note: globally for python3 as Mac can have both python2 & 3
pip3 install MySQL-Python
You can use the MySQL Connector/Python
Installation via PyPip
pip install mysql-connector-python
Further information can be found on the MySQL Connector/Python 1.0.5 beta announcement blog.
On Launchpad there's a good example of how to add-, edit- or remove data with the library.
For centos users:
yum install -y mysql-devel python-devel python-setuptools
then
pip install MySQL-python
If this solution doesn't work, and print gcc compile error like:
_mysql.c:29:20: error: Python.h: No such file or directory
You need to specify the path of Python.h, like this:
pip install --global-option=build_ext --global-option="-I/usr/include/python2.6" MySQL-python
I was trying to install mysql-python on an Amazon EC2 Linux instance and I had to install these :
yum install mysql mysql-devel mysql-common mysql-libs gcc
But then I got this error :
_mysql.c:29:20: fatal error: Python.h: No such file or directory
So I installed :
yum install python-devel
And that did the trick.
For anyone that is using MariaDB instead of MySQL, the solution is to install the libmariadbclient-dev package and create a symbolic link to the config file with the correct name.
For example this worked for me:
ln -s /usr/bin/mariadb_config /usr/bin/mysql_config
For Linux
this works for me
yum install python-devel mysql-devel
Try sudo apt-get build-dep python-mysqldb
OSX Mavericks
Due to changes within osx mavericks & xcode development tools you may get the error on installation
clang: error: unknown argument: '-mno-fused-madd' [-Wunused-command-line-argument-hard-error-in-future]
therefore use :
sudo ARCHFLAGS=-Wno-error=unused-command-line-argument-hard-error-in-future pip install mysql-python
for mariadb install libmariadbclient-dev instead of libmysqlclient-dev
sudo apt-get install libmariadbclient-dev
You should install the mysql first:
yum install python-devel mysql-community-devel -y
Then you can install mysqlclient:
pip install mysqlclient
I had the same problem in the Terraform:light container. It is based on Alpine.
There you have to install mariadb-dev with:
apk add mariadb-dev
But that one is not enough because also all the other dependencies are missed:
apk add python2 py2-pip gcc python2-dev musl-dev
sometimes the error depends on the actual cause. we had a case where mysql-python was installed through the python-mysqldb debian package.
a developer who didn't know this, accidentally ran pip uninstall mysql-python and then failed to recover with pip install mysql-python giving the above error.
pip uninstall mysql-python had destroyed the debian package contents, and of course pip install mysql-python failed because the debian package didn't need any dev files.
the correct solution in that case was apt-get install --reinstall python-mysqldb which restored mysql-python to its original state.
Sequence to be followed.
pip install mysqlclient
sudo apt-get install python3-dev libmysqlclient-dev
pip install configparser
sudo cp /usr/lib/python3.6/configparser.py /usr/lib/python3.6/ConfigParser.py
Then try to install the MYSQL-python again. That Worked for me
On Mac:
brew install mysql-client
locate mysql
mdfind mysql | grep bin
then add to path
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/Cellar/mysql-client/8.0.23/bin/
or permanently
echo "export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/Cellar/mysql-client/8.0.23/bin/" >> ~/.zshrc
source ~/.zshrc
Had a similar issue trying to install on OS X Server 10.6.8. Here's what I had to do.
Using:
MySQL-python 1.2.4b4 (source)
MySQL-5.6.19 (binary installer)
Python 2.7 (binary installer)
NOTE: Installing in virtualenv...
Unzip source, open 'distribute_setup.py' and edit DEFAULT_VERSION to use the latest version of distribute tools, like so:
DEFAULT_VERSION = "0.6.49"
Save. Open 'site.cfg' file and uncomment the path to mysql_config so it looks something like (reference your own path to mysql_config):
# The path to mysql_config.
# Only use this if mysql_config is not on your PATH, or you have some weird
# setup that requires it.
mysql_config = /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config
Now clean, build and make will not fail with the 'mysql_config' not found error.
Hope this helps someone else trying to make use of their old xserves :-)
Your sudo path does not know about your local path... go into superuser mode, add the path, and install it from there.
sudo su
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/mysql/bin/
pip install mysql-python
exit
And you're up and running on OSX. Now you have an updated global python.
if you install MySQL-python in your virtual env, you should check the pip version, if the version is older than 9.0.1, please update it
pip install --upgrade pip
write on 27 Aug, 2021
my macos version is BigSur(14.4), and mysql version is mysql8. It seems like in the higher version of mysql, they delete the my_config.h files but change to the mysql.h.
so your guys should run the following shell:
cd /usr/local/include/mysql
cp mysql.h my_config.h
after that, run pip install MySQL-python and everything will be ok.
on MacOS Mojave, mysql_config is found at /usr/local/bin/ rather than /usr/local/mysql/bin as pointed above, so no need to add anything to path.
In my case my database is running on container and my flask app is running on another container when i tried updating code app got broke with error

because where my flask app is running doesn't have mysql client properly configured so first i installed mysql server and then install
sudo apt-get install mysql-server-5.7 -y
Then started MySQL
mansoor#LARC-mansur:~/Documents/clients/HR/DevopsSimulator/web$ sudo systemctl start mysql
Then install flask-mysql package and this time it worked
mansoor#LARC-mansur:~/Documents/clients/HR/DevopsSimulator/web$ sudo pip3 install flask-mysqldb
This is different case but posting here because may be someone else in the world facing same issue
