Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 is required (Unable to find vcvarsall.bat)

Question

I\'ve installed Python 3.5 and while running

pip install mysql-python

it gives me the following error

error: Microsoft Vi         


        

Answer 1

I had the same issue while installing mysqlclient for the Django project.

In my case, it's the system architecture mismatch causing the issue. I have Windows 7 64bit version on my system. But, I had installed Python 3.7.2 32 bit version by mistake.

So, I re-installed Python interpreter (64bit) and ran the command

pip install mysqlclient

I hope this would work with other Python packages as well.
