ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'MySQLdb' Amazon MySQL RDS SQLAlchemy

问题

I am having issues with connecting Amazon AWS MySQL with SQLAlchemy. According to the instruction, I have connected.

app.config['SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI'] = 'mysql://<user>:<password>@<host>/<dbname>

But there is an error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

I am using Python3.7 version. Even according to the stackoverflow, I have installed pymysql, but still facing the problem.

Thank you for your reply.

回答1:

If you use the PyMySQL client to connect to MySQL, your SQLAlchemy connection string needs to start with

 mysql+pymysql://

instead of mysql://.

If you connect with mysql:// then you will need to install the MySQLdb library as shown in the Traceback.

回答2:

Step 1 If you want to use MySQLDB you need to use one of the following commands. Which one depends on what OS and software you have and use.

easy_install mysql-python (mix os)

pip install mysql-python (mix os/ python 2)

pip install mysqlclient (mix os/ python 3)

apt-get install python-mysqldb (Linux Ubuntu, ...)

cd /usr/ports/databases/py-MySQLdb && make install clean (FreeBSD)

yum install MySQL-python (Linux Fedora, CentOS ...)

For Windows, see this answer: Install mysql-python (Windows)

Step 2:

Create Engine

engine = create_engine('mysql+mysqldb://...', pool_recycle=3600)

use the create_engine.pool_recycle option which ensures that a connection will be discarded and replaced with a new one if it has been present in the pool for a fixed number of seconds:

Create Connection object

conn = engine.connect()

Execute SQL queries

conn.execute("SELECT * From table;")

Above issues has been solved with the following:

import pymysql

pymysql.install_as_MySQLdb()

Nothing to change anywhere.
