PyMySQL is a database connector for Python. It's a library to enable Python programs to talk to a MySQL server.
The easiest way to get PyMySQL on your computer is to use pip:
$ pip3 install pymysql
Some of you might be familiar with pip but now we are using pip3
because we are using Python 3.
pip3 comes together with Python 3 but just in case something is not working you can download it
as follows:
Mac:
$ sudo easy_install pip3
or if this this doesn't work you can just download get-pip.py and run it, and it will download the
appropriate pip for your Python version:
$ curl -O https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py $ sudo python3 get-pip.py
curl gets you the file and then you just run it using python3.
sudo runs the command with administrative priviledges.
Windows: Go to https://bootstrap.pypa.io/ and download get-pip.py (Right Click -> Save Link As...). Then simply run it using:
C:\> python3 get-pip.py
Remember to add pip3 to the environmental variables like in
this guide.
You can always check the version of pip3 you are using by running:
$ pip3 -V
