I've read several different explanation regarding how to install MySQLdb, but I'm not sure which case applies to me since my error message is different. My system can't seem to find MySQLdb. I installed pymysql, but i need to import MySQLdb to use procedures from that library.

Thanks for your help.

$ conda install MySQLdb

Fetching package metadata: .... Error: No packages found in current osx-64 channels matching: mysqldb

Did you mean one of these?

pymysql

You can search for this package on anaconda.org with

anaconda search -t conda mysqldb

$ anaconda search -t conda mysqldb

Using anaconda-server api site https://api.anaconda.org Run 'anaconda show ' to get more details: No packages found Name | Version | Package Types | Platforms
