installing mysql using pip

I've been trying to install mysql for hours now, I've gone through so many forums and everything can someone help me. Every time I run the command pip install mysql-python I get 

(DjangoProject-env)Adams-MacBook-Air:DjangoProject AdamC$ pip install mysql-python
 Downloading/unpacking mysql-python
   Downloading MySQL-python-1.2.5.zip (108kB): 108kB downloaded
   Running setup.py (path:/Users/AdamC/projects/Environment/DjangoProject-env/build/mysql-        python/setup.py) egg_info for package mysql-python

        libs = mysql_config("libs_r")
       File "setup_posix.py", line 25, in mysql_config
        raise EnvironmentError("%s not found" % (mysql_config.path,))
      EnvironmentError: mysql_config not found
      Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info:

      raise EnvironmentError("%s not found" % (mysql_config.path,))

   EnvironmentError: mysql_config not found

   Cleaning up...

  Storing debug log for failure in /Users/AdamC/.pip/pip.log 
  (DjangoProject-env)Adams-MacBook-Air:DjangoPoject AdamC$

I've tried sourcing a .profile 

 export PATH=/usr/local/mysql/bin:$PATH
 export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/mysql/lib/

And a few other things but I can't remember right now, any help would be greatly appreciated.

I had a similar situation. You can try:

  • Step1. Download the Postgres server at www.psequel.com
  • Step2. Select the Gui Application link and then select the PSequel.
  • Step3.Once everything has been downloaded, open your Postgres panel and then launch the terminal by clicking "open psql." This takes you to the terminal. Step4. You can now start using creating databases using MySQL.

I had this same error, but I'm not sure if it's from the same situation. I didn't originally have MySQL installed when I was trying to install mysql-python. It therefore couldn't use any MySQL commands like mysql-config.

If you don't have Mac Homebrew installed, go here to learn how to install it: http://brew.sh/

Then you can install MySQL with this command:

brew install mysql

And finally,

pip install mysql-python

should proceed to completion.
