Using PIP in a virtual environment, how do I install MySQL-python

Question

When I'm in my virtual environment, I attempt to run:

pip install MySQL-python

This didn't work, so I tried downloading the package and installing it by running:

python setup.py install

This returns the following error:

% python setup.py install                                                                                                                             ~VIRTUAL_ENV/build/MySQL-python

How can I install MySQL-python on Ubuntu in a virtual environment with "no-site-packages" enabled?

Answer 1

The reason this was occurring is because I need to install the python-dev package (which I stupidly assumed had already been installed).

% sudo apt-get install python-dev

followed by

% pip install MySQL-python
