I’m trying to install MYSQLdb on a windows client. The goal is, from the Windows client, run a python script that connects to a MySQL server on a LINUX client. Looking at the setup code (and based on the errors I am getting when I try to run setup.py for mysqldb, it appears that I have to have my own version of MySQL on the windows box. Is there a way (perhaps another module) that will let me accomplish this? I need to have people on multiple boxes run a script that will interact with a MySQL database on a central server.

      (can be used as a dropin-replacement for MySQLdb by calling pymysql.install_as_MySQLdb())
    • MySql-Connector
