Question

I just upgraded my Ubuntu install to 16.04 and this seems to have broken my mysql dependencies in the MySQL-python package.

Here is my error message:

Thank for Largaroth. If you use mysqlclient on Ubuntu 16.04 and have error: ImportError: libmysqlclient.so.18: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

You can fix:

sudo -H pip uninstall mysqlclient

sudo -H pip install --no-binary mysqlclient mysqlclient
