上面的答案很好，但是在Windows中使用pip安装MySQL-python时可能会出现一些问题

例如，它需要一些与Visual Stdio相关的文件。一个解决方案是安装VS2008或2010......显然，它花费太多。

另一种方法是@bob90937的答案。我是来补充的。

通过http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs，你可以下载许多科学开源扩展包的Windows二进制文件，用于Python编程语言的官方CPython发行版。

回到主题，我们可以选择MySQL-python(py2)或Mysqlclient(py3)并使用pip install进行安装。它给我们很大的方便!

我在通过Pip(问题编译源)在Windows上安装64位版本的MySQLdb时遇到了问题[32位版本安装ok]。设法从http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/上的.whl文件安装编译后的MySQLdb

然后，.whl文件可以通过pip作为https://pip.pypa.io/en/latest/user_guide/#installing-from-wheels中的文档安装

例如，如果你保存在C:/ the，你可以安装通过

pip install c:/MySQL_python-1.2.5-cp27-none-win_amd64.whl

后续:如果你安装了64位版本的Python，那么你想从上面的链接安装64位AMD版本的MySQLdb[即，即使你有英特尔处理器]。如果你尝试安装32位版本，我认为你会在下面的评论中得到不支持的轮子错误。

从新的Ubuntu 14.04.2系统开始，需要这两个命令:

 apt-get install python-dev libmysqlclient-dev
 pip install MySQL-python

仅仅自己进行“pip安装”是行不通的。

从http://codeinthehole.com/writing/how-to-set-up-mysql-for-python-on-ubuntu/

这里给出的很多答案都很让人困惑，所以我会尽量简单地说。它帮我安装了这个

pip install pymysql

然后在python文件中使用以下命令

import pymysql as MySQLdb

这样你就可以毫无问题地使用MySQLdb了。

实际上，遵循@Nick T的答案对我不起作用，我尝试apt-get install python-mysqldb对我有效
