I am trying to set up a Django project. Initially I had Python 3.5 installed for a data analysis project I worked on. So while Python 3.5 works in tandem with matplot, pandas, scipy etc, the Django tutorial recommended I use 2.7 for the Django project as MySQL support for Python 3.5 is only third-party. I am also required to download Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 anytime I try pip install mysqlclient for 3.5. Unfortunately my internet connection/data is quite limited.
The thing is, I have installed 2.7 and it resides in C:\Python27. Python 3.5 is installed in C:\Users\XXXX\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python35-32
I have created a project directory - django-admin startproject myproject. I have installed the MySQLDb package to C:\Python27. But each time I attempt from command promptC:\Users\XXXX\Documents\WebDev\seedstars> python manage.py runserver, I get this error message:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users\XXXX\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python35-32\lib\site- packages\django\db\backends\mysql\base.py", line 25, in <module>
import MySQLdb as Database
ImportError: No module named 'MySQLdb'
I tried setting my Python interpreter in PyCharm to Python 2.7. Each time I do this - python manage.py runserver, it reverts back to the error above.
Please, how do I set this Django project to only "listen" to the Python2.7 interpreter, at cmd?
Thanks.
