mysql - ImportError: No module named 'MySQLdb' -

i did lot of research couldn't find solution keep getting error:

traceback (most recent call last): file "test.py", line 2, in <module>   import mysqldb importerror: no module named 'mysqldb' 

i installed well: , got this.

yesh@yesh:~/dbms$ sudo apt-get install python-mysqldb reading package lists... done building dependency tree        reading state information... done python-mysqldb newest version. 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 remove , 0 not upgraded. 

someone please me this. guess has environment variables. don't know is. in advance

first ensure have python mysql driver installed:

sudo pip install pymysql 

add settings.py:

# pymysql try:   import pymysql   pymysql.install_as_mysqldb() except importerror:   pass 

you can test works trying this:

$ ipython import mysqldb  #confirm error  import pymysql pymysql.install_as_mysqldb() import mysqldb  #no error
