Installing mysqlclient to 3.12.1 python version

Question

I already tried to install wheel -- didn't work well.
Tried to install build tools -- didn't work
Tried to install MySQL connector/C and put it in the environment variables -- didn't work
Tried upgrading pip -- didn't work

This is my error:

pip install mysqlclient

  note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.

The wheel was missed for release, issue contains test wheel for Python 3.12 — matszwecja

Sorry sir what does this mean? I can't install mysqlclient to python 3.12? — Jasper
– Jasper, Commented Dec 12, 2023 at 14:25
this means the developer of the library missed 3.12 wheel which is required for it to work. You can either wait until it is fixed or download test wheel provided in one of the posts in the issue I linked. — matszwecja
– matszwecja, Commented Dec 12, 2023 at 14:29
So either I change back to older version of python where the test wheel is provided? — Jasper

On Linux/Ubuntu - mysql.h is missing, so install "sudo apt install libmysqlclient-dev" (Centos - sudo yum install mysql-devel -y)

On Windows, it's simply a matter of installing the MySQL client.
