I am using Windows 10. I have python 3.8.2 32 bit installed. I am trying to use mysql-installer-web-community-8.0.20.0.msi the connector for Python. The connectors are grayed out and not available. The error message says Python 32-bit not installed. I see old threads claiming you need Python 3.4. The documentation here: https://dev.mysql.com/doc/connector-python/en/connector-python-versions.html claims this will work with Python 3.8.2. Do I need a different MySql installer? If not, what am I doing wrong?
Thanks,
Scott
I am not sure why I was using the MySQL installer to install libraries for Python. In hind-sight, that doesn't make sense. Use pip to install the drivers like
$ pip install mysql-connector-python
# or
$ python pip install mysql-connector
# or for >= Python 3.9
$ pip install mysqlclient
It is not entirely clear what the difference is, but, the first of the three solved the problem.
I faced similar issue while working with MySQL 8.0.18 with Python 3.8 on Windows 10 64 Bit Machine.
And I used the following workaround -
Ensured that all the installers used were 64-Bits installers for My SQL and Python since my machine is Windows 10 64-bit machine.
Ensured that Python Connector for MySQL supported the corresponding python version from https://insidemysql.com/category/mysql-development/connectors/python/ Incase of issues or lack of information downgraded MySql by minor version.
Downloaded independent MSI for Connector from - dev.mysql.com/downloads
Manually installed the downloaded Connector MSI.
Hopefully this information will help you troubleshoot your issue as well by using corresponding 32-bit versions.
If your CPU architecture is 64 bit then be sure that you download MySQL Connector 64 bit version. 32 bit installers would also work but sometimes occurs minor errors. Also MySQL Connector Python requires Python to be in the system’s PATH. Installation fails if python cannot be located. Add python.exe path to System PATH varible. So that MySQL connector can find the execution file.
It is sadly known that MYSQL has low compatibility with python.
For example, I have stepped into this issue while trying to install mysql-python (a terrible one!) and this other issue while using mysqlclient.
There are a lot of python connectors for mysql, you can try some and see one by one if they work. I would recommend pymysql.
However, I would recommend you to use a Postgresql db with python, it really works like charm, and if you want to have a local DBMS/GUI/workbench to work on it, you can use PgAdmin.

I have MySQL installed in windows system. Now as I need to install Percona Monitoring and Management tool (https://www.percona.com/doc/percona-monitoring-and-management/index.html) to track the MySQL but as per the documentation, They do not see to provide much support for the Windows.
I have also tried it with Docker but could not able to install PMM clinet.
Can you suggest me the way to run PMM in Windows?
I'm running Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and I want to use Mysql-proxy.I want to download mysql-proxy by terminal with instruction and I have a ubuntu 16.04.
Any suggestions???
The mysql-proxy project seems to be abandoned since over 2 years which is the likely reason for its removal from the Xenial repositories. It's probably incompatible with newer MySQL releases.
The 3-years-old INSTALL notice recommends version 5.1.x while the Xenial repositories include MySQL 5.7 and no older release.
Anyway, you can try below link also.

I'm trying to istall mysql server on a windows 7 machine - that has python 3.4.3 installed. However, when trying to install the python connectors for 3.4, the installer fails to recognize the python installation, saying python 3.4 is not installed.
Has anyone solved this issue before? I'ts driving me nuts...
Just to add to the murkiness, I had the same error with current version of MySql install when attempting with python 3.5 installed (which is the latest python download). Long story short, I uninstalled python 3.5, installed python 3.4.4 (which interestingly didn't update PATH so I updated it manually) and reran installer and it found the python installation.
So my conclusion is the MySql installer is tied to certain versions of the add-on products which in this case meant specifically python 3.4
just in case anyone else has this issue in future. Look at what bit version you have for Python 3.4. When I installed 64 bit version of Python 3.4, this issue went away.
I ran into a similar issue with Python 3.7.2.
In my case, the problem was that I tried to install the 64 bit MySQL connector, but had the 32 bit version of Python installed on my machine.
I got a similar error message:
Python v3.7 not found. We only support Python installed using the Microsoft Windows Installer (MSI) [...]
The problem just went away by installing the 32 bit MySQL connector instead.
From my experience if you have both Py2.7 and Py3.4 installed when installing the mysql connector for py3.4 you will run into this issue. Not sure of the WHY but for some reason if you have py2.7 installed, the py3.4 mysql connector recognizes that version first and just assumes that you have py2.7 installed and does not recognize that py3.4 is installed.
The only way I have found around this is to uninstall py2.7 and then install the py3.4 mysql connector. You can always install py2.7 again after the fact.
I had 3.6.X version and it could not see it; I uninstalled it and installed 3.4.0 version and it passed the requirement.

Had the same problem and have fixed it. Using a Windows 7 PC and I already had multiple versions of Python installed.
Uninstalled all versions of Python from my PC
Uninstalled the failed MySQL install
Restarted PC
Re-installed Python 3.7 64-bit (the currently required version for MySQL)
Installed the Python 3.7 MySQL Connector separately through the link below
https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/python/
Once that was installed, restarted the MySQL install
The MySQL Installer window will open and already show the Python 3.7 MySQL Connector in the list of products
Click "Add" at the top-right and select all of the products you want and then install them
You should then be able to complete the MySQL setup
I was looking for an similar answer. The correct answer is that there is a bug in the mysqlconnector MSI. When python installs, it creates a registry entry under HKLM Software\Python\PythonCore\3.6-32\InstallPath however, the MSI for mysqlconnector is looking for installation path in the registry Software\Python\PythonCore\3.6\InstallPath as part of the RegLocator/registrypath variable.
Use ORCA to edit the MSI, change the RegLocator so that -32 is in the path. It will install now without error or changes to the system.
I had same problem with python 3.4, all I did was installed python 3.4 version for all users. and added system variable as per this page. it worked for me!
Hope that helps.
Make sure you have the 64bit version of whichever version of Python you are running. It can be downloaded from here:
https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/
Just had the same problem and this solved it for me. I also uninstalled all previous versions of Python before running the mysql setup
I had this problem until I discovered I had installed python based in another architecture (32b). MySQL required 64 bit.
Had the same problem with Python 3.7 when trying to install MySQL in Windows 10. It was fixed by installing the 64-bits version of Python, not selected by default when going to https://www.python.org/downloads/.
I found it in https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.7.3/python-3.7.3-amd64.exe
Here is a much simpler work around:
pip install mysql-connector-python
Is the same package that MySQL is having trouble installing. Just use pip to install it.
Next, go back to the installation style and select "Manual" instead of "Developer". They are identical, but "Manual" allows you to remove packages. Just remove the "Connector/Python" package from the list to be installed.
Carry on with the install, you're done.
How do I install Navicat on Ubuntu Desktop 12.04?
I have just configured a new Ubuntu 12.04. Because I'm not so familiar with the command line, I prefer to use Ubuntu Desktop so that I can have a GUI. Now I need to install a front-end to connect with MySQL.
I prefer to use Navicat in a MAC environment, so I was hoping to install Navicat on the Ubuntu machine. I downloaded a Linux copy of Navicat for MySQL from here:
http://www.navicat.com/download/navicat-for-mysql
The problem I am having is that I don't know how to install the program after it has been downloaded. There is a navicat.exe file in the navicat folder, but that seems to be for a DOS/Windows environment.
I just can't figure out how to install Navicat onto Ubuntu Desktop 12.04. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks.
You need to download Linux version of Navicat
And per online manual
Installation for Download Version
Open or Save the gzip file.
Extract the file into anywhere you wish.
Open the unziped folder.
Double-click start_navicat to start your
Navicat. Please note that it would take a while for starting-up.
A Registration screen will then be popup, key in the Registration Key
(16 digit) and click Activate to online activate the key.
UPDATE:
if you're on 64-bit box install all 32bit libraries
sudo apt-get install ia32-libs
install wine runtime environment
sudo apt-get install wine
