Installing MySql for python 3.5.2

Question

I was trying to installed Mysql as i started off with Django, the methods I have followed:

1)pip install MySQL-python

error: Unable to find vcvarsall.bat( Does MSvisual studio needed?,I am not sure whether I have it or not maybe I got MSVS 2005)

Can anyone help me with this, I was puzzled I am on windows 7

MySQL-python package is for 2.* version

it's been while but i think still there is no mysql connector for 3.5

your best option is to downgrade to python 3.4 and use mysql cli3ent

pip install mysqlclient

i havn't tested but some say this works for 3.5 but i wouldn't count on it

good luck
