This could be due to an antivirus or some other program on your computer interfering with network connections (see pip install is not working).

I am able to install PyMySQL with the following:

pip install PyMySQL

There are a few possible solutions.

Install with conda: conda install pymysql
Download the wheel for PyMySQL and install it using that file.
- Go to https://pypi.org/project/PyMySQL/#files and download the .whl file.
- Run pip install path/to/PyMySQL-0.9.3-py2.py3-none-any.whl
If antivirus is in fact playing a role, then I'm not sure what to do, but google is your friend.

they are using anaconda which is also very explicit about which version of python to use – Almog-at-Nailo May 13 '20 at 14:09
@jakub If I use your command I get : 'python3' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. – ManCity10 May 13 '20 at 14:11
@AK28 - then use `pip install`. I do recommend using the `python -m pip` syntax though, because it is more explicit about which `pip` you are referring to. This can prevent installing into the wrong environment. – jkr May 13 '20 at 14:14
@jakub Finally! Solution 2 worked for me. Thank you very much! – ManCity10 May 13 '20 at 14:33
