如果你无法安装mysqlclient，你也可以安装pymysql:

安装pymysql

这与MySqldb的工作原理相同。之后使用pymysql代替MySQLdb

我尝试了所有的选项，但不能让它在红帽平台上工作。 我做了下面的工作:-

yum install MySQL-python -y

一旦包被安装，就可以在解释器中导入模块如下

>>> import MySQLdb
>>> 

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/

第一个

pip install pymysql

然后将下面的代码放入__init__.py (projectname/__init__.py)

import pymysql
pymysql.install_as_MySQLdb()

我的环境是(python3.5, django1.10)，这个解决方案适合我!

希望这能有所帮助!!

如果你使用的是树莓派(Raspberry Pi)

首先需要安装pip命令

apt-get install python-pip

这就是按顺序安装

apt-get install python-dev libmysqlclient-dev

apt-get install python-pip

pip install MySQL-python

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
