Question

I have some problems with python 3 module installing. I\'m trying to install mysql using pip :

python -m pip install mysql

for python 3.4.4

Answer 1

I had this problem and I can solve it in PyCharm (version: 2019.2) as follow:

1. update the pip version in pycharm (at this time the latest version of pip is 20.0.2):

   1-1- Open project settings (File > Settings...) (preferences on Mac)

   1-2- Project > Project Interpreter

   1-3- Press the + button

   1-4- Type pip in the top search box

   1-5- In the lower right corner choose specify version and ensure using latest version

   1-6- press Install Package button

you can also find out the current version of pip through cmd in windows by this command: pip -V and then update pip by this command: pip install --upgrade pip

2- Go to File > Settings... > Project > Project:Interpreter and update pip by clicking on upgrade button as the following picture (click on the small upward arrow at the right sidebar): enter image description here

3- Like the first step, install latest version of matplotlib (at this time its latest version is 3.2)
