Maybe this is a question for Anaconda then, as they include the modules in their package. Maybe I need to install mysqldb? Not installed in Anaconda? I might just skip Anaconda and build it all myself... -----Original Message----- From: sqlalchemy@googlegroups.com [mailto:sqlalchemy@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Simon King Sent: Tuesday, October 28, 2014 1:46 PM To: sqlalchemy@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: [sqlalchemy] creating engine in python, "No module named 'MySQLdb' On Tue, Oct 28, 2014 at 5:23 PM, Larry Green <lgr...@smartmarketdata.com> wrote: > Simple question. > > Configuration= > Anaconda3 > Python 3.4 and many various 3rd party modules. > sqlalchemy 0.9.4 verified installed > Windows 7 x64 machine. > > The first part of the sqlalchemy tutorial states do the following in python: > > import sqlalchemy > > works perfectly, then: > > from sqlalchemy import create_engine > > works perfectly, then I enter code to create a MySQL engine for sqlalchemy: > > engine = create_engine("mysql://root:mypwd@127.0.0.1/mydatabase", > encoding='utf-8', echo=True) > > this runs, but then errors (ImportError: No module named 'MySQLdb'). > I have verified that the mysqldb.py file the error says is missing is > in the > "C:\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\sqlalchemy\connectors\mysqldb.py.

See http://docs.sqlalchemy.org/en/rel_0_9/dialects/index.html in general, and http://docs.sqlalchemy.org/en/rel_0_9/dialects/mysql.html for mysql specifically. Most tutorials use sqlite as the database, since the sqlite library is included as part of Python. Certainly the tutorials at http://docs.sqlalchemy.org/en/rel_0_9/orm/tutorial.html and http://docs.sqlalchemy.org/en/rel_0_9/core/tutorial.html use sqlite. Which tutorial are you trying to follow?
