Error installing mysqlclient for python on Ubuntu 18.04

Question

I installed Python 2.7.15rci and Python 3.6.7 on Ubuntu. When i did \'pip list\' on virtualenv it returns me:

Django (2.1.5)
pip (9.0.1)
pkg-resources (0.0.0         


        

Answer 1

I wanted to install the 'Modoboa' mail-server package (https://github.com/modoboa/modoboa) on my Ubuntu 18.04 with Apache as my webserver, instead of nginx. I needed mysqlclient for Python 2.7. The following packages worked for me:

sudo apt-get install libssl-dev gcc python2.7-dev libmysqlclient-dev
