Trying to install oursql driver for python3x and sqlalchemy0.8 on ubuntu 12.10. It fails with the following error.

sudo pip-3.2 install oursql

When I try to install cython I seem to already have it:

sudo pip-3.2 install cython
Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade): cython in /usr/local/lib/python3.2/dist-packages
Cleaning up.

What can I do to make it run?

Answer 1

Had the same error when running pip-3.2.

This is how I made it work:

Created my env using python-3.2:

virtualenv -p /usr/bin/python3.2

Installed the required packages:

sudo apt-get install python-dev

sudo apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev

Then installed:

sudo pip install cython

sudo pip install oursql

Edit1:

I was able to get pass you error with my above recomendations, but i was wrong (python3.2 was unable to read oursql). I tried the following and was able to make a connection:

First:

sudo apt-get install python3.2-dev

Then installed oursql for Python 3 from source (as suggested by it's maintainer here):

Get the Python 3 version of oursql from here and compile it from source (Don't have enough reputation to post the link, just go to oursql official site for installation instructions).

Answer 2

The maintainers have two packages, one for python 2.x and one for python 3.x, you should run:

pip install oursql3
