ImportError: No module named 'MySQL'

Question

I have downloaded the Connector/Python for MySQL successfully. I used the following code in Python\'s shell to test my connection:

import mysql.connector

Answer 1

This problem was a plague to me!!! The 100% solution is to forget using the mysql module: import mysql.connector, instead use pymysql via import pymysql. I installed it via the instructions: python3 -m pip install PyMySQL

made a change to the: 1. Import statement 2. The connector 3. The cursor

After that everything worked like a charm. Hope this helps!
