I cannot install mysql-connector-python using pip

Question

I am trying to install mysql-connector-python==1.0.12 as part of my project\'s automated installation, and I get the following error from pip install

Answer 1

For all the lazy people like me who had to google how the requirements file works

just do this ...

echo https://cdn.mysql.com/Downloads/Connector-Python/mysql-connector-python-2.1.3.tar.gz >> requirements.txt

then this.

sudo -H pip install -r ./requirements.txt

check it.

pip list | grep mysql

It should output:

mysql-connector-python (2.1.3)

happy days Thanks to @Amnon
