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

I am using Python 2.7.11 :: Anaconda 2.3.0 (x86_64) on Mac OS X 10.11.4 15E65.

You may want to follow the steps below:

• Install homebrew
• Open a terminal and run: brew install mysql-connector-c
• pip install mysql-python

Then the Anaconda will have the mysql-python installed and you can start with MySQLdb then.

Good luck. Thanks.
