pyMySQL Error (no module called PyMySQL)

[alanmathew671]

While running test scripts via Robot Framework Ride Tool, it was unable to connect to database as there was an error occuring called "no module called PyMySQL".
This issue occured when PyMySQL 0.6 was installed.

In order to the resolve the issue, version 0.6 was uninstaled and version 0.5 PyMySQL was installed though:

pip install PyMySQL==0.5

@alanmathew671 is this problem still happening? Can you provide the full stack trace so we can understand the error?

[alanmathew671]

Resolved by installing PyMySQL v0.5.

The issue was that, using PyMySQL v0.6 I was unable to connect to my mySQL Database, an error message was displayed called "no module called PyMySQL".

I see this issue has been closed, but I just thought to let you know that this is happening for me as well.

While deploying a project of mine I got ImportError: No module named pymysql when pymysql could not connect to the db (which was due the fact mysql-server wasn't installed yet).

So I think when pymysql cannot connect, trying to import it results in this error. happens on version 0.6.2

I too had this problem. Installed using _pip install PyMySQL. Tried pip install _PyMySQL==0.5 too, but to no avail. I am running Python 2.7.3 on Windows 7.

But somehow, it woks when downloading and installing manually.
