Answer 1

What worked for me was to download the .deb file directly and install it (dpkg -i mysql-connector-python_2.1.7-1ubuntu16.04_all.deb). Python downloads are located here (you will need to create a free MySQL login to download first). Make sure you choose the correct version, i.e. (python_2.1.7 vs. python-py3_2.1.7). Only the "Architecture Independent" version worked for me.
