Python 3.4.0 with MySQL database

Question

I have installed Python version 3.4.0 and I would like to do a project with MySQL database. I downloaded and tried installing MySQL

Answer 1

MySQLdb does not support Python 3 but it is not the only MySQL driver for Python.

mysqlclient is essentially just a fork of MySQLdb with Python 3 support merged in (and a few other improvements).

PyMySQL is a pure python MySQL driver, which means it is slower, but it does not require a compiled C component or MySQL libraries and header files to be installed on client machines. It has Python 3 support.

Another option is simply to use another database system like PostgreSQL.

Answer 2

for fedora and python3 use: dnf install mysql-connector-python3

Answer 3

Install pip:

apt-get install pip

For acess MySQL from Python, install:

pip3 install mysqlclient

Answer 4

mysqlclient is a fork of MySQLdb and can serve as a drop-in replacement with Python 3.4 support. If you have trouble building it on Windows, you can download it from Christoph Gohlke's Unofficial Windows Binaries for Python Extension Packages

Answer 5

sudo apt-get install python3-dev
sudo apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev
sudo apt-get install zlib1g-dev
sudo pip3 install mysqlclient

that worked for me!
