MySQL python setup error

Question

I am following https://www.tutorialspoint.com/python/python_database_access.htm to connect Python with SQL.

gunzip MySQL-python-1.2.2.tar.gz
tar -xvf MySQL-python-1.2.2.tar
cd MySQL-python-1.2.2
python setup.py build
python setup.py install

The last command "python setup.py install" gives :

error: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/anaconda/lib/python2.7/site-packages/easy-install.pth'

Using Anaconda, you should use conda install <package-name>

Linux / Windows: conda install mysql-python

Mac OS: conda install --channel https://conda.anaconda.org/coursera mysql-python

Then it will check for dependencies and install them for you.

OK. That was the Linux version. I'll get the OSX setup for you.

Updated with Mac OS instructions. Verified working in Python 2.7 Anaconda

Uprooted but not verified. Thanks a lot. I trust your solution is right, but it did not work for me. I can install it now with OSX terminal, but cannot import it in Python. ERROR MESSAGE: import MySQLdb Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "//anaconda/lib/python2.7/site-packages/MySQLdb/__init__.py", line 19, in <module> import _mysql ImportError: dlopen(//anaconda/lib/python2.7/site-packages/_mysql.so, 2): Library not loaded: libssl.1.0.0.dylib Referenced from: //anaconda/lib/python2.7/site-packages/_mysql.so Reason: image not found

Looks like an openssl error now. Try the following links that seem to address this part of the problem. stackoverflow.com/a/19172859/3006366 and stackoverflow.com/a/20946142/3006366 (Both separate answers to the same post)
