I am unable to resolve this issue for a day now. when i try to execute my django project, pycharm throws the error "No module named 'MySQLdb'". From reference to similar questions on SO. I did try to install packages through file settings, that raises another error 

"Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement MySQLdb (from versions: )
No matching distribution found for MySQLdb"

My project requires python 3.6 and the project doesn't seem to be working without MysqlDB. I did try to install mysqlAlchemy and mysqlconnector but it is of no use. Can some one point out how to resolve this ?

I am on mac and there is no issue if i try to run the project from terminal.

EDIT : I did try to install mysql from the pycharm package manager. But it throws another error No module named 'ConfigParser'

It's a common problem in python3.5.3, you may need to pip install pymysql and add the following code to __init__.py at the same directory as wsgi.py. Wish you good luck!

import pymysql
pymysql.install_as_MySQLdb()

  • I have no idea what "you may need to pip install pymysql and add the following code to __init__.py at the same directory as wsgi.py" means but I added import pymysql pymysql.install_as_MySQLdb() to the top of my .py script and it worked. – Jak Dec 12 '19 at 17:06
