On running pip install MySQL-python I get following error:

llecting MySQL-python
  Downloading MySQL-python-1.2.5.zip (108kB)
    100% |████████████████████████████████| 112kB 202kB/s 
    Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info:

      File "setup_posix.py", line 25, in mysql_config
        raise EnvironmentError("%s not found" % (mysql_config.path,))
    EnvironmentError: mysql_config not found

I am using OSX and MySQL is installed with MAMP

This is how I added `export PATH="/Applications/MAMP/Library/bin/mysql_config:$PATH"` but it is not working – Volatil3 Mar 29 '17 at 06:02

you just need the bin, path takes directories. – pvg Mar 29 '17 at 06:03
@pvg Awesome, it worked. Thanks! – Volatil3 Mar 29 '17 at 06:05
