Installing MySQL Python on Mac OS X

Question

Long story short, when I write the following:

sudo easy_install MySQL-python

I get the error

EnvironmentError: mysql

Answer 1

Here's what I would install, especially if you want to use homebrew:

• XCode and the command line tools (as suggested by @7stud, @kjti)
• Install homebrew
• brew install mysql-connector-c
• pip install mysql-python
