Today I write about how you can fix the python error “No module named MySQLdb” in Fedora 28<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Why this error occurs<\/h2>\n

This can occur when you try and run a python script that imports the module MySQLdb.<\/p>\n

If this is not properly installed it will then display the error “No module named MySQLdb”. To resolve this you need to install the module.<\/p>\n

Installing MySQLdb for python 2 on Fedora 28<\/h2>\n

On Fedora 28 you can install MySQLdb by entering the following command:<\/p>\n

sudo dnf install\u00a0python2-mysql<\/pre>\n
This will install the libraries needed for\u00a0MySQLdb and configure\u00a0MySQLdb for python2.<\/p>\n
Note: MySQLdb is not available for <\/em>python 3. If you want to use this in <\/em>python 3 you will have to look for another MySQL connector library.<\/em><\/p>\n
Once this is installed you will be able to run your python 2 scripts which import this module.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
