No module named 'mysql'

I've created a Python script to store data in MySQL. It works properly in PyCharm. When converted to an exe file it does not work.
This is traceback from the command line:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "myscript.py", line 1, in <module>
import mysql.connector
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'mysql'
[8428] Failed to execute script 'myscript' due to unhandled exception!
The command to create the exe:
pyinstaller --onefile --console CoinVolumes.py
I also tried auto-py-to-exe but got the same error. Mysql is installed.

use this command:
pip install mysql-connector-python
after that verify:
$ python
Python 2.7.11 (default, Apr 26 2016, 13:18:56)
[GCC 4.1.2 20080704 (Red Hat 4.1.2-54)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import mysql.connector
>>>

In Python 3.6.9 I can use Pip 3 and do following:
pip3 install mysql
pip3 install mysql-connector-python

You would need to run the mysql server yourself. Pyinstaller is working properly, the problem here is that mysql server is not part of python, therefore you need to start the server mannualy. An alternative is to use sqlite, which does not require a server. It is built into standard python, no need for installing anything.

Python Import Different Libraries from Different Versions

I'm trying to develop a Python script, and I seem to be running into a conflict between two of the libraries that I want to include.
The first dependency that I have is pymoos (https://github.com/msis/python-moos), which is necessary to connect to my communication architecture. I've built the code and manually installed the resultant pymoos.so in the following places:
/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/pymoos.so
/usr/lib64/python2.7/lib-dynload/pymoos.so
/usr/lib64/python3.6/lib-dynload/pymoos.so
/usr/local/lib/python3.7/lib-dynload/pymoos.so
However, only python2.7 will allow me to 'import pymoos' from the interpreter. Attempting from either of the Python3 versions produces this:
Python 3.6.8 (default, Jun 11 2019, 15:15:01)
[GCC 4.8.5 20150623 (Red Hat 4.8.5-39)] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import pymoos
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: dynamic module does not define module export function (PyInit_pymoos)
The second dependency is pydantic, which I have only managed to install using pip3, apparently meaning that it's only available from either of the versions of Python3 that I have installed. Attempting to import from Python2 gives the following:
Python 2.7.5 (default, Jun 11 2019, 14:33:56)
[GCC 4.8.5 20150623 (Red Hat 4.8.5-39)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import pydantic
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named pydantic
Since I know where the pymoos.so library is, I think that my easiest path forward is to put that in the right place so it works with python3, but I can't seem to find the right place!

as per my comment:
it should be as simple as pip install path/to/pymoos/code, but you might be better off using a more widely used database library like asyncpg or psycopg.
Regarding having to use sudo, you might consider using virtualenv or similar to setup a dedicated python environment for your application.

How to bind openalpr with python on a mac?

I recently installed openalpr on my mac using brew install openalpr with success. I would like to use the openalpr library with python 2.7 but I am having difficulty binding the two and could use some help.
I currently get the following in my projects file location:
Python 2.7.11 (default, Jan 22 2016, 08:29:18)
[GCC 4.2.1 Compatible Apple LLVM 7.0.2 (clang-700.1.81)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> from openalpr import Alpr
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named openalpr
>>>
When I move to /usr/local/Cellar/openalpr/2.3.0/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/openalpr
The import works. How can I bind this library? Thanks
EDIT: I think I've seen that running the setup.py for openalpr is how you bind but I have no idea where to find it in my file system.

I had to do the following command:
echo /usr/local/opt/openalpr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ >> /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/openalpr.pth

Can't import MySQLdb into python

I have followed the steps in the website below, and installed everyhting for MySQLdb.I am using Xampp for the database and I have linked the mysql_config to the xampp mysqlconfig.
http://www.tutorialspoint.com/python/python_database_access.htm
However, after everything was installed and when I try to import it says:
Python 2.7.5 (default, Mar 9 2014, 22:15:05)
[GCC 4.2.1 Compatible Apple LLVM 5.0 (clang-500.0.68)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import MySQLdb
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/MySQL_python-1.2.4b4-py2.7-macosx-10.9-intel.egg/MySQLdb/__init__.py", line 19, in <module>
import _mysql
ImportError: dlopen(/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/MySQL_python-1.2.4b4-py2.7-macosx-10.9-intel.egg/_mysql.so, 2): Library not loaded: libmysqlclient.18.dylib
Referenced from: /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/MySQL_python-1.2.4b4-py2.7-macosx-10.9-intel.egg/_mysql.so
Reason: image not found
Thanks ahead of time for all your help!

What solved my problem is:
Installed homebrew from this website:http://brew.sh
Installed mysql using brew:
brew install mysql
Followed this website to build and install python MySQLdb:http://www.tutorialspoint.com/python/python_database_access.htm
After all of that everything is perfectly working.So if anyone is having trouble with MySQLdb on a Mac, then just follow those instructions. I hope this helps.

How to install libgit2/pygit2 into virtualenv? (Ubuntu)

I have tried dulwich, and GitPython - neither of which seem mature. Now I am trying to install libgit2/pygit2. I have successfully installed them into the host packages environment, but now I need to get them installed in the virtualenv of the app I am building.
Python 2.7.3 (default, Sep 26 2013, 20:03:06)
[GCC 4.6.3] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import pygit2
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pygit2/__init__.py", line 32, in <module>
import _pygit2
ImportError: libgit2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
>>>
As you can see the current issue seems to be that the globally installed libgit2.so.0 cannot be found from within the virtualenv. Fair enough, that is what virtualenv is about after all,, sandboxing. So how do I go about linking/symlinking/building a version/copy of the libgit2.so for the virtualenv ?

I found the following script in a Gist that - when run while logged into a virtualenv -- will install the current libgit2/pygit2 together there in the venv.

One note of caution, update the version numbers for both libraries to the same most recent version ( 0.20.0 at this time of writing ).
