After I installed Mariadb 10 the Mysql workbench and JPDB client both connect and work fine so next step was get programming with Python (using SQLAlchemy) which seems to require MySQL-python so I went to update that and got: "mysql_config not found" I looked in the "usual places" and did not see a file...

So I followed some ideas from an earlier question on SO and tried to install: apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev

which got me to: The following packages have unmet dependencies: libmysqlclient-dev : Depends: libmysqlclient18 (= 5.5.35-0ubuntu0.13.10.2) but 10.0.10+maria-1~saucy is to be installed

which kind of hits a brick wall for me
