Question :
I’m using Amazon Linux AMI release 2013.09. I’ve install virtualenv and after activation then I run pip install mysql-connector-python, but when I run my app I get an error: ImportError: No module named mysql.connector
. Has anyone else had trouble doing this? I can install it outside of virtualenv and my script runs without issues. Thanks in advance for any help!
Answer #1:
Several things. There is an inconsistency in package naming so you may want to do:
pip search mysql-connector
to find out what it is called on your platform. I got two results mysql-connector-python
and mysql-connector-repackaged
.
so try this first:
pip install mysql-connector-python
this may additionally give an error like this:
Some externally hosted files were ignored (use
--allow-external mysql-connector-python to allow).
so finally this should do the job:
pip install mysql-connector-python --allow-external mysql-connector-python
Answer #2:
Solution I found:
sudo pip install mysql-connector-python-rf
If you see this error: option --single-version-externally-managed not recognized
, try this:
sudo pip install --egg mysql-connector-python-rf
Answer #3:
pip install mysql-connector
This worked for me!
Answer #4:
I was facing the similar issue. My env details –
Python 2.7.11
pip 9.0.1
CentOS release 5.11 (Final)
Error on python interpreter –
>>> import mysql.connector
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named mysql.connector
>>>
Use pip to search the available module –
$ pip search mysql-connector | grep --color mysql-connector-python
mysql-connector-python-rf (2.2.2) - MySQL driver written in Python
mysql-connector-python (2.0.4) - MySQL driver written in Python
Install the mysql-connector-python-rf –
$ pip install mysql-connector-python-rf
Verify
$ python
Python 2.7.11 (default, Apr 26 2016, 13:18:56)
[GCC 4.1.2 20080704 (Red Hat 4.1.2-54)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import mysql.connector
>>>
Answer #5:
I’d like to add that
sudo easy_install mysql-connector
worked for me after pip kept crashing no matter what I did.
Answer #6:
I’ve battled with this and tried upgrading pip and setuptools but actually it seems all you need to do is:
sudo pip install virtualenv --upgrade
Once you’ve upgraded virtualenv, create a new virtual environment, activate it and try installing with:
pip install https://cdn.mysql.com/Downloads/Connector-Python/mysql-connector-python-2.1.3.tar.gz
(you might need to update the url, but that’s the current one)
Answer #7:
Command
pip install mysql-connector-python-rf
worked for me in my pyenv python version 2.7.12 and pip version 9.0.1.
Answer #8:
I have managed to overcome this problem by entering mysql-connector-python
package URL, taken from MySQL page, directly to the requirements file, instead of dependency name.
My requirements file looks like this:
bson==0.4.2
https://cdn.mysql.com/Downloads/Connector-Python/mysql-connector-python-2.0.4.tar.gz
pymongo==3.2.1
After creating virtualenv and switching into it I am executing
$ pip install -r ./requirements
And pip is doing the rest of the work, i.e., downloading, extracting and installing.
