Installing MySQLdb specifically in python 2.7 on centos

问题

I'm using CentOS release 6.5 (Final).

I 'm currently using python 2.4, in which I can use MySQL without problems.

root@dedicado [/home/digicelc/public_html/gestion/python/cater]# python
>>> import MySQLdb
>>> 

But, when I try it from python2.7

root@dedicado [/home/digicelc/public_html/gestion/python/cater]# python2.7
>>> import MySQLdb
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named MySQLdb
>>> 

I don't want to change the python version in the server, just want to make the module avaiable for 2.7

Finally this:

# yum install python27-MySQL-python 

Is giving me this:

Error: Package: python27-MySQL-python-1.2.3-9.el6.centos.alt.x86_64 (scl)
           Requires: libmysqlclient_r.so.16()(64bit)
Error: Package: python27-MySQL-python-1.2.3-9.el6.centos.alt.x86_64 (scl)
           Requires: libmysqlclient_r.so.16(libmysqlclient_16)(64bit)
 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

I had a similar problem. Had to install python2.7 to get a particular library, then couldn't run mysql via python2.7 because it was installed on 2.6.

Try this: pip2.7 install MySQL-python
