I'm trying to install MySQL-python with conda. I get the following error:

> conda install MySQL-python
Fetching package metadata .........
Solving package specifications: .

UnsatisfiableError: The following specifications were found to be in conflict:
  - mysql-python -> python 2.7* -> openssl 1.0.1*
  - python 3.6*
Use "conda info <package>" to see the dependencies for each package.

I don't even understand which is the conflict... maybe python 2.7 and 3.7 cannot coexist?

You are right, this error message is a little hard to decrypt. Have you tried looking into similar error messages which may shed some light on the issue? Python 2.7 and 3.7 can normally co-exist just fine. You may need to specify which one is being used when creating your Anaconda environment. I would suggest using the command conda info <package> on mysql-python and see what dependencies are returned.
