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 would 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 tried pip install mysql-python
but it is not supported by Python 3.4
