[Django]-Install mysql-python (Windows)

try running the following command:

pip install mysqlclient

If you are trying to use mysqlclient on WINDOWS with this failure, try to install the lower version instead:

pip install mysqlclient==1.3.4

if you use the site http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#mysql-python , download the file:

• mysqlclient‑1.3.6‑cp34‑none‑win32.whl or

• mysqlclient‑1.3.6‑cp34‑none‑win_amd64.whl

depending on the version of python you have (these are for python 3.4) and the type of windows you have (x64 or x32)

extract this file into C:\Python34\Lib\site-packages and your project will work

There are windows installers for MySQLdb avaialable for both 32 and 64 bit, supporting Python from 2.6 to 3.4. Check here.

For folks using Python 3.0+ (which should be everyone now):

Unfortunately, MySQL-Python 1.2.5 does not support Python 3.0+ yet (which is kinda unreasonable IMHO, Python 3+ has been out for a while). Reference : https://pypi.python.org/pypi/MySQL-python/1.2.5

So, my workaround is to use Oracle’s MySQL connector. In settings.py, change DATABASE’s ‘ENGINE’ field to:
‘ENGINE’: ‘mysql.connector.django’,

More info could be found in the last paragraph of the first answer to this question: Setting Django up to use MySQL

Hope this helps!!

I have a slightly different setup, but think my solution will help you out.

I have a Windows 8 Machine, Python 2.7 installed and running my stuff through eclipse.

Some Background:

When I did an easy install it tries to install MySQL-python 1.2.5 which failed with an error: Unable to find vcvarsall.bat. I did an easy_install of pip and tried the pip install which also failed with a similar error. They both reference vcvarsall.bat which is something to do with visual studio, since I don’t have visual studio on my machine, it left me looking for a different solution, which I share below.

The Solution:

1. Reinstall python 2.7.8 from 2.7.8 from https://www.python.org/download this will add any missing registry settings, which is required by the next install.
2. Install 1.2.4 from http://pypi.python.org/pypi/MySQL-python/1.2.4

After I did both of those installs I was able to query my MySQL db through eclipse.

MySqldb python install windows

MySQL-python 1.2.3 for Windows and Python 2.7, 32bit and 64bit versions

download python mysql-python from here

If you encounter the problem with missing MS VC 14 Build tools while trying pip install mysqlclient a possible solution for this may be https://stackoverflow.com/a/51811349/1552410

Just Download mysqlclient from here https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/
be careful while downloading the right version depending on your your python version installed.
Then proceed with the import.
It worked for me because in my case the error was telling to install Visual Studio C++ 14.0 something which wasted my time and occupied around 10GB of space in my C drive.
So recommending installing mysqlclient using pip install mysqlclient

For phpmydamin you can use following step

1. Go to python install path like

    cd C:\Users\Enamul\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37-32\Scripts
   

2. Run the command pip install PyMySQL

3. In the python shell import library like import pymysql

4. connection to databasbe

    db = pymysql.connect(host='localhost',user='root',passwd='yourpassword', database="bd")
   

5. get cursor cursor = db.cursor()

6. Create table like

   cursor.execute("CREATE TABLE customers (name VARCHAR(255), address VARCHAR(255))")
