PyCharm import MySQL

Question

I am trying

import MySQLdb as mdb

on PyCharm and get the error:

ImportError: No module named MySQLdb

From the PyCharm-preference, cannot find MySQLdb to import. pymysql was successfully installed on PyCharm though. Suggestions ? Thank you very much.

Solution

You can use pymysql installing through PyCharm instead of MySQLdb. It's a drop-in replacement for it.
