How to install mysql-connector for python 3.5.1?

Question

I'm on python 3.5.1 and I am having trouble installing mysql connector:

install --allow-external mysql-connector-python-rf mysql-connector-python-rf

is not working, neither is the normal pip command for mysql-connector-python-rf. I am getting the following message:

error: option --single-version-externally-managed not recognized

Any ideas?

There is no mysql-connector for python 3.5.1 up till now, but you can use pymysql to connect mysql to python 3.5.1!

import pymysql

conn = pymysql.connect(host='localhost', port=port_no, user='db_user', passwd='password', db='db_name')
