This manual describes how to install and configure MySQL Connector/Python, a self-contained Python driver for communicating with MySQL servers, and how to use it to develop database applications. MySQL Connector/Python 8.0 is highly recommended for use with MySQL Server 8.0, 5.7, and 5.6. It is a fork of mysql-python (also known as MySQLdb) that supports Python 3+ This library talks to the MySQL client's C-interface, and is faster than the pure-python pymysql libray. Note: you will need the mysql-developer tools installed. An easy way to do this on a Mac is to run. Brew install mysql-connector-c to delegate this task to homebrew.

Install MySQL Driver

Python needs a MySQL driver to access the MySQL database.

In this tutorial we will use the driver 'MySQL Connector'.

We recommend that you use PIP to install 'MySQL Connector'.

PIP is most likely already installed in your Python environment.

Navigate your command line to the location of PIP, and type the following:

Download and install 'MySQL Connector':

C:UsersYour NameAppDataLocalProgramsPythonPython36-32Scripts>python -m pip install mysql-connector-python

Now you have downloaded and installed a MySQL driver.
