When attempting to install MySQLdb by doing 'sudo pip install MySQL-Python' I get the above error - I looked around and it seems like it's no longer supported/usable? I have tried updating setup tools but it changes nothing.
On the readme under requirements it says that you can use an alternative connector? It also lists mysql-connector-python, so I went and installed that - then it said to change line 31 of init.py in the Database folder in timeline. It could be me missing something - but I dont see any easy to change variable in there to direct it to mysql-connector-python instead of MySQLdb
Thanks to anyone who can help
