mysql-python install error: Cannot open include file 'config-win.h'
This didn't work for me:
pip install mysqlclient
so I found this after a while on Stack Overflow:
pip install --only-binary :all: mysqlclient
and it went all through, no need for MS Visual C++ 14 Build tools and stuff.
Note: for now this doesn't work with Python 3.7, I also had to downgrade to Python 3.6.5.
for 64-bit windows
install using wheel
pip install wheel
download from http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#mysql-python
For python 3.x:
pip install mysqlclient-1.3.8-cp36-cp36m-win_amd64.whl
For python 2.7:
pip install mysqlclient-1.3.8-cp27-cp27m-win_amd64.whl
well this worked for me:
pip install mysqlclient
this is for python 3.x in window 7 i am not sure about other windows os versions
I am using Windows 10 and overcame this issue by running the pip install mysql-connector
command in Windows PowerShell rather than the Command Prompt.
