[](http://travis-ci.org/PyMySQL/mysqlclient-python)
This is a fork of [MySQLdb1](https://github.com/farcepest/MySQLdb1).
This project adds Python 3 support and bug fixes.
I hope this fork is merged back to MySQLdb1 like distribute was merged back to setuptools.
## Install
### Prerequisites
You may need to install the Python and MySQL development headers and libraries like so:
`sudo apt-get install python-dev libmysqlclient-dev` # Debian / Ubuntu
`sudo yum install python-devel mysql-devel` # Red Hat / CentOS
On Windows, there are binary wheel you can install without MySQLConnector/C or MSVC.
#### Note on Python 3 : if you are using python3 then you need to install python3-dev using the following command :
`sudo apt-get install python3-dev` # debian / Ubuntu
`sudo yum install python3-devel ` # Red Hat / CentOS

NOTE: Wheels for Windows may be not released with source package. You should pin version
in your `requirements.txt` to avoid trying install source newest pacakge.
