具体错误：

[root@localhost liuyuantao]# pip install mysql-pythonCollecting mysql-python  Downloading MySQL-python-1.2.5.zip (108kB)    100% |████████████████████████████████| 112kB 77kB/s     Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info:    sh: mysql_config: command not found    Traceback (most recent call last):      File "

上面的错误是由于缺少mysql_config文件导致，查看下mysql_config文件是否存在

[root@localhost liuyuantao]# find / -name mysql_configfind: ‘/proc/5155’: No such file or directoryfind: ‘/run/user/1000/gvfs’: Permission denied

果然mysql_config没有找到，是因为缺少mysql-devel，导致mysql_config丢失，安装mysql-devel即可。

yum install mysql-devel

若提示错误应该是MySQL的源存在问题，安装MySQL的源即可，具体见

mysql-devel安装成功之后，查看mysql_config是否存在

[root@localhost liuyuantao]# find / -name mysql_configfind: ‘/run/user/1000/gvfs’: Permission denied/usr/bin/mysql_config

在/usr/bin/mysql_config已经存在，使用pip安装mysql-python即可

root@localhost liuyuantao]# pip install mysql-pythonCollecting mysql-python  Using cached MySQL-python-1.2.5.zipBuilding wheels for collected packages: mysql-python  Running setup.py bdist_wheel for mysql-python ... done  Stored in directory: /root/.cache/pip/wheels/38/a3/89/ec87e092cfb38450fc91a62562055231deb0049a029054dc62Successfully built mysql-pythonInstalling collected packages: mysql-pythonSuccessfully installed mysql-python-1.2.5

接下来我们就可以使用python操作MySQL数据库了
