Python 3 ImportError: No module named 'ConfigParser'

Question

I am trying to pip install the MySQL-python package, but I get an ImportError.

Jans-MacBook-Pro:~ jan$ /Library/Framew         


        

Answer 1

pip install configparser
sudo cp /usr/lib/python3.6/configparser.py /usr/lib/python3.6/ConfigParser.py

Then try to install the MYSQL-python again. That Worked for me

Answer 2

how about checking the version of Python you are using first.

import six
if six.PY2:
    import ConfigParser as configparser
else:
    import configparser

Answer 3

I got further with Valeres answer:

pip install configparser sudo cp /usr/lib/python3.6/configparser.py /usr/lib/python3.6/ConfigParser.py Then try to install the MYSQL-python again. That Worked for me

I would suggest to link the file instead of copy it. It is save to update. I linked the file to /usr/lib/python3/ directory.

Answer 4

This worked for me

cp /usr/local/lib/python3.5/configparser.py /usr/local/lib/python3.5/ConfigParser.py

Answer 5

Do pip3 install PyMySQL and then pip3 install mysqlclient. Worked for me

Answer 6

I still have this issue, so I go to /usr/lib/python3.8 and type as sudoer:

cp configparser.py ConfigParser.py

You may have another python version than 3.8.
