IMDBPy installing mysqlclient fails - Python 2.7 Windows

I'm a former developer, but haven't done much with Python to date. I'm trying to get the full IMDB database into a MySQL server before the text files go poof.

I now know IMDBPy requires Python 2.7 (thanks David!) so I am on a clean machine with Py 2.7 installed. My understanding is that I need several packages installed before I can run the imdbpy2sql script successfully.

These are:

I have everything installed up to the mysqlclient. When I attempt to install it, it fails with a message that seems to indicate it cannot find the \include folder for MySQL.

I have confirmed the include folder is there as well as the mysql.h file it is looking for (the default installation location was "c:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.7\include"). I didn't have a problem installing mysqlclient when I was using a newer version of Python (3). So I'm assuming there's some disconnect between the 2.7 version and newer versions of MySQL. Maybe a config file that needs to be updated? Any help would be appreciated.

Install driver first and then try if it works.

  1. Download & Install Python MySQL Connector driver from following link. https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/c/6.0.html#downloads

  2. pip install MySQL-Python

Refer: https://github.com/PyMySQL/mysqlclient-python/issues/142
