Connecting Python to a MySQL database
Raw
gistfile1.md

I had a hard time installing a python connector to a MySQL database. I tried to install MySQLdb but had problems during compilation. Fortunately, MySQL release a connector written in Python. I wanted to install it in a virtual environnement.

To do so :

venv environnement
cd environnement 
source bin/activate

pip install mysql-connector-repackaged

To check the installation is working

import mysql
