Mysqlclient fails to install
I was able to fix this by running pip install mysql. I do not understand why this worked because I already had MySQL installed on my system and had been using it.
I am going to assume it is because Python uses environments and MySQL wasn't installed in the environment but I would like to know for sure.
I am trying to install mysqlclient on mac to use mysql in a django project. I have made sure that setup tools is installed and that mysql connector c is installed as well. I keep getting the error Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in. This is my first django project since switching from rails. Is there something I am missing? I am using python 3 and I use pip install mysqlclient.
