I went through other similar questions, but none of the stuffs mentioned there, served my purpose. My OS is ubuntu 11.04, What i did was created a virtual environment first:
virtualenv mysite
once this was done, i installed django
pip install django==1.3
post django installation i tried to install mysql interface for python:
pip install MySQL-python
this gave me an error:
Downloading/unpacking MySQL-python
Downloading MySQL-python-1.2.3.tar.gz (70Kb): 70Kb downloaded
Running setup.py egg_info for package MySQL-python
sh: mysql_config: not found
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 14, in <module>
File "/home/build/MySQL-python/setup.py", line 15, in <module>
metadata, options = get_config()
File "setup_posix.py", line 43, in get_config
libs = mysql_config("libs_r")
File "setup_posix.py", line 24, in mysql_config
raise EnvironmentError("%s not found" % (mysql_config.path,))
EnvironmentError: mysql_config not found
i further tried:
python -c "import MySQLdb"
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named MySQLdb
Please help, thanks.
