Cannot install flask-mysqldb
Solution 1
Of course you can not find whl for flask-mysqldb
, but you can find mysqlclient
.
Download suitable version for you platform from https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#mysqlclient
Then, e.g. pip install mysqlclient-1.3.13-cp27-cp27m-win32.whl
, depends what you download.
Finally, pip install flask-mysqldb
again, this will work for you.
Solution 2
the same issue/problem I've also received,
That is flask_mysqldb
'no module'
first of all flask_mysqldb isn't installed through pip
,
You have to install a suitable version for mysqlclient
for me it worked
I'm using window 10
having python3.8
installed....... to rectfiy the error use the follwing procedure:
click on the link
https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#mysqlclient and select mysqlclient‑1.4.6‑cp38‑cp38‑win32.whl
(python3.8
a suitable version for me) download it
then search for the directory where downloaded ..... and then through command prompt type
pip install mysqlclient‑1.4.6‑cp38‑cp38‑win32.whl
and then
pip install flask_mysqldb
and done

I've been trying to install
flask-mysqldb
usingpip install flask-mysqldb
, but every time I try it gives me an error that says :error: command 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.14.26428\bin\HostX86\x86\cl.exe' failed with exit status 2
I've looked around a lot and no answer works for me. I searched the file in https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/ but its not there.
I am on Windows 7 x64.
