I am new to Mac and i am trying to install MySQLdb for Python on MAC but after following the steps mentioned on http://www.tutorialspoint.com/python/python_database_access.htm, i received an error after running 

$ python setup.py build

Error:

clang: warning: argument unused during compilation: '-mno-fused-madd'
_mysql.c:44:10: fatal error: 'my_config.h' file not found
#include "my_config.h"
     ^
1 error generated.
error: command 'cc' failed with exit status 1

Note: My "mysql_config" path is /Applications/MAMP/Library/bin/mysql_config What should i do?

The problem is unused arguments passed to compiler. Try this before running your build code:

export CFLAGS=-Qunused-arguments
export CPPFLAGS=-Qunused-arguments

Try setting this on the terminal before executing:

export CC='/usr/bin/gcc'
export CFLAGS='-isysroot /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.10.sdk -I/opt/X11/include -arch i386 -arch x86_64'
export LDFLAGS='-arch i386 -arch x86_64'
export ARCHFLAGS='-arch i386 -arch x86_64'

  • For OSX El Capitan: Use above with below CFLAGS: export CFLAGS='-isysroot /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.11.sdk/usr/include -arch i386 -arch x86_64' – Isanka Wijerathne Jul 04 '16 at 10:20

I had the same problem today, and I had to downgrade the MySQL 8 to 5.7 to install the Python module.

This procedure worked for me:

brew remove mysql mysql-client mysql-connector-c
brew install mysql@5.7
brew link --force mysql@5.7
pip install mysql-python

I read a post and adjusted the procedure to link things in the /usr/local/bin instead of adding a new route to the PATH variable. Reference: MacOS: "pip install MySQL-python" returning an error: "_mysql.c:44:10: fatal error: 'my_config.h' file not found"
