Python's MySQLdb can’t find libmysqlclient.dylib with Homebrewed MySQL

Question

MySQL and Python installed with Homebrew

I installed MySQL and Python with Homebrew on OS X 10.10.5 Yosemite. My Python 2.7 is at python -> ../Cellar/pyth

Answer 1

This solved my issue on my case:

$ pip uninstall MySQL-python
$ pip install mysqlclient

MySQL-python turned out to be very old (last commit was 7 years ago). mysqlclient is the modern version of it, with lots of improvements and bug fixes.
