I'm trying to install MySQL-python with pip. I'm using Python v2.7.18 and pip v20.3.4
I'm trying it with:
pip install MySQL-python==1.2.5
But it gives this error:
Defaulting to user installation because normal site-packages is not writeable
Collecting MySQL-python==1.2.5
Using cached MySQL-python-1.2.5.zip (108 kB)
