I'm trying to install MySQL-Python through pip with pip install MySQL-Python. But I'm getting a couple of error messages. Here's the console log:

I tried downloading the two whl files and install them 'manually' from http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#mysql-python but they give the error:

C:\WINDOWS\system32>pip install C:\Users\Rasmus\Downloads\MySQL_python-1.2.5-cp27-none-win_amd64.whl
MySQL_python-1.2.5-cp27-none-win_amd64.whl is not a supported wheel on this platform.

I used python 3.5, and windows 10.

It seems your pip version is outdated.

  1. So first do python -m pip install --upgrade pip

  2. Then use your downloaded wheel, but do python3 -m pip install [.whl_location] if python3 is in your path, else navigate to python3 folder and do the same.

Hope this helps.

  • The upgrade tells me it's up to date. And typing -m pip install C:\Users\Rasmus\Downloads\MySQL_python-1.2.5-cp27-none-win_amd64.whl says that python3 is not recognized as an internal or external command – vandelay Aug 15 '16 at 03:26
  • You got to navigate to python3 folder and type only `python` as that is the name of the .exe in your case – Ganesh Kathiresan Aug 15 '16 at 04:19
