Mac pip install mysql-python unsuccessful
20,148
Solution 1
Installing of an older version of the MySQL worked for me:
brew remove mysql
brew install [email protected]
brew link --force [email protected]
pip install mysql-python
See:
Solution 2
brew install [email protected]
export PATH="/usr/local/Cellar/[email protected]/5.7.29/bin:$PATH"
export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/Cellar/[email protected]/5.7.29/lib -L/usr/local/Cellar/[email protected]/1.1.1d/lib"
export CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/Cellar/[email protected]/5.7.29/include -I/usr/local/Cellar/[email protected]/1.1.1d/include"

I installed MySQL and Workbench from website. I have a django project whose requirements.txt:
Django==1.11.12 djangorestframework==3.8.2 django-cors-headers==2.2.0 drfdocs==0.0.11 mysql-python==1.2.5 django-rest-auth==0.9.3 django-allauth==0.35.0 nltk==3.2.5 django-extensions==2.0.7 pyparsing==2.2.0 pydot==1.2.4
When I run
pip install -r requirements.txt
I got an error
mysql_config not found
. To solve this I ranPATH=$PATH:/usr/local/mysql/bin
It now throws
_mysql.c:44:10: fatal error: 'my_config.h' file not found #include "my_config.h" ^~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1 error generated. error: command 'cc' failed with exit status 1 ---------------------------------------- Command ""/Users/nitish/gitProjects/Vision Backlog/vb_env/bin/python" -u -c "import setuptools, tokenize;__file__='/private/var/folders/ql/_w2_rlvs2351pdcnzhn04sf40000gn/T/pip-install-M4ue9E/mysql-python/setup.py';f=getattr(tokenize, 'open', open)(__file__);code=f.read().replace('\r\n', '\n');f.close();exec(compile(code, __file__, 'exec'))" install --record /private/var/folders/ql/_w2_rlvs2351pdcnzhn04sf40000gn/T/pip-record-7OCzf1/install-record.txt --single-version-externally-managed --compile --install-headers "/Users/nitish/gitProjects/Vision Backlog/vb_env/include/site/python2.7/mysql-python"" failed with error code 1 in /private/var/folders/ql/_w2_rlvs2351pdcnzhn04sf40000gn/T/pip-install-M4ue9E/mysql-python/
Why is this happening?
UPDATE: following bellow solution threw:

the_marcelo_r over 5 yearsThanks a mil! Spent a few minutes struggling with this until I found your answer :)

fullStackChris about 4 yearsThis was it! It was the MySQL version 5.7 that did the trick. (I had to install an older MySQL-python version 1.2.5)

Bart Mensfort over 3 yearsI used my_config.h from mariadb and put it in /usr/include. Then pip2 install mysql-python works perfect.

Banjer over 3 yearsWorks great on Catalina 10.15.7 for an old python project I had to stand up. Just had to update the paths to reflect the mysql (5.7.32) and openssl (1.1.1h) that get installed at the present time.
