Question

I am trying to install MySQLDB/MySQL-python on Cygwin with a Windows MySQL server. While installing it errs out with the error below.

Is there a way to work around the below 2 issues. I dont want to install MySQLDB on cygwin. I only want the connector to use in the code.

$ pip install MySQL-python
Downloading/unpacking MySQL-python
EnvironmentError: mysql_config not found

pip install MySQLdb
Downloading/unpacking MySQLdb
Could not find any downloads that satisfy the requirement MySQLdb

Thanks for the help.

I got it fixed after installing "libmysqlclient-devel"

apt-cyg install libmysqlclient-devel

Still MySQLdb does not work with sock file error. Opened another thread for that problem

Not sure what os you are using but ive found some windows mysqldb libs if that's what you want they have versions for python 2.5-2.7
