I cannot install mysql-connector-python using pip
For all the lazy people like me who had to google how the requirements file works
just do this ...
echo https://cdn.mysql.com/Downloads/Connector-Python/mysql-connector-python-2.1.3.tar.gz >> requirements.txt
then this.
sudo -H pip install -r ./requirements.txt
check it.
pip list | grep mysql
It should output:
mysql-connector-python (2.1.3)
happy days Thanks to @Amnon
There are quite a few solutions, e.g. hosting a private repository, but the quickest was to change the requirements.txt
file to download from mysql's cdn.
i.e., to change:
mysql-connector-python==1.0.12
to
https://cdn.mysql.com/Downloads/Connector-Python/mysql-connector-python-2.1.15.tar.gz
Worked for me using
pip install mysql-connector-python-rf
.
