How can I install the MySQLdb module for Python using pip?
236
MySQLdb is an interface for connecting to a MySQL database server from Python. It implements the Python Database API v2. 0 and is built on top of the MySQL C API.
First off, import MySQLdb is used to import the required python module. MySQLdb. connect() method takes hostname, username, password, and database schema name to create a database connection. On successfully connecting with the database, it will return a connection object (which is referred to as dbconnect here).
It's easy to do, but hard to remember the correct spelling:
pip install mysqlclient If you need 1.2.x versions (legacy Python only), use pip install MySQL-python
Note: Some dependencies might have to be in place when running the above command. Some hints on how to install these on various platforms:
sudo apt-get install python-pip python-dev libmysqlclient-dev sudo dnf install python python-devel mysql-devel redhat-rpm-config gcc brew install mysql-connector-c if that fails, try
brew install mysql If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
