I am using anaconda with python3.6 built in. I saw a python script with import MySQLdb. I have searched from google that I need to install mysql-python (I have installed mysql in my local PC). I type conda install mysql-python, but it seems that I meet a conflict as below. I have uninstalled python2.x from my PC, so I don't know what this message is saying. enter image description here Cound you please tell me how can I install mysql-python ??

when I type python --version, it gets:Python 3.6.1 :: Anaconda 4.4.0 (64-bit). when I type conda install mysql-python,it gets: Fetching package metadata ........... Solving package specifications: .

UnsatisfiableError: The following specifications were found to be in conflict:
  - mysql-python -> python 2.6*
  - python 3.6*
Use "conda info <package>" to see the dependencies for each package.

When typing `python --version` what do you get? Also please post the error message as text and not as an image, as it is easier to read. – Adonis Aug 05 '17 at 15:15

Thanks for your comment~ I have adjusted my content. – little bottle Aug 05 '17 at 15:25
The error means you have mysql-python installed for `python2.6`, which is in conflict with installing it for the 3.6 version. Do a `conda uninstall mysql-python`, then try installing again – Adonis Aug 05 '17 at 15:28
yeah, it solved my problem, thanks a lot ! – little bottle Aug 05 '17 at 15:34
