Http://stackoverflow.com/questions/31748278/how-do-you-install-mysql-connector-python-development-version-through-pip/34027037#34027037   I have a virtualenv in which I am running Django 1.8 with Python 3.4 I am trying to get support for MySQL however I am having trouble getting the different connectors to work. I have always used mysql-connector-python with django 1.7 and wo'd like to continue using it. The development version of mysql-connector-python (2.1.2) seems to have support for Django 1.8 now. How do I install the development version using pip install (within my virtualenv )? I have tried running the following command: pip install mysql-connector-python==2.1.2 --allow-external mysql-connector-python But the 2.1.2 developer version is not available there: could not find a version that satisfies the requirement mysql-connector-python==2.1.2 (from versions: 1.1.4, 1.1.5, 1.1.6, 1.2.2, 1.2.3, 2.0.1, 2.0.2, 2.0.3, 2.0.4) Some insecure and unverifiable files were ignored (use --allow-unverified mysql-connector-python to allow).No matching distribution found for mysql-connector-python==2.1.2 I have tried downloading the file directly from: http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/python/ ... But for some reason after installation the connector is not available within my virtualenv Help please :-) Thank you .' EDIT:I have triedpip install mysql-pythonBut it is not supported by Python 3.4.

I agree, the debian packages appear to be broken for at least Ubuntu 14.04. The apt-get version and the pip version do not include the 2.1.x releases. To get it done, I had to grab the source: $ git clone https://github.com/mysql/mysql-connector-python.git$ cd mysql-connector-python$ python ./setup.py build$ sudo python ./setup.py install...>>> import mysql.connector as msc>>> msc.__version__'2.1.3'>>>
