Mac下Django项目Did you install mysqlclient/Error loading MySQLdb module报错解决方法

MacOs 10.14.6下Django项目Did you install mysqlclient报错解决方法

现象

启动项目报错：

django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: Error loading MySQLdb module.
Did you install mysqlclient?

首先确保mysql安装并且配置正确

这个PATH是为了pip安装mysqlclient时能读取到mysql_config变量，否则会报找不到mysql_config的错

vim ~/.bash_profile
# mysql
export PATH="$PATH":/usr/local/mysql/bin/
alias mysql='/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql'
alias mysqladmin='/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqladmin'
alias mysqldump='/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqldump'

卸载mysqlclient

pip uninstall mysqlclient

安装mysql-connector-c

brew install mysql-connector-c

由于mysql-connector-c依赖openssl，会自动安装openssl

brew info openssl

得到

If you need to have openssl first in your PATH run:
  echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/opt/openssl/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bash_profile
For compilers to find openssl you may need to set:
  export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib"
  export CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/opt/openssl/include"

将openssl环境变量输出到当前bash环境配置中即.bash_profile或者.zshrc
建议修改bash_profile，在zsh中source bash_profile来加载其他配置

cat >> ~/.bash_profile <> ~/.bash_profile

由于前面配置过mysql，执行which mysql_config，终端输出

/usr/local/bin/mysql_config

修改mysql_config源文件，在里面找到如下内容

# Create options
libs="-L$pkglibdir"
libs="$libs -l "
将他替换成
# Create options
libs="-L$pkglibdir"
libs="$libs -lmysqlclient -lssl -lcrypto"

最后重新加载环境变量并重新安装

source ~/.bash_profile
pip install mysqlclient==1.4.2.post1

补充：
可能还是会遇到安装失败，那么直接pip install mysqlclient不指定版本
