Python 3 ImportError: No module named ConfigParser

Python 3 ImportError: No module named ConfigParser

You can instead use the mysqlclient package as a drop-in replacement for MySQL-python. It is a fork of MySQL-python with added support for Python 3.

I had luck with simply

pip install mysqlclient

in my python3.4 virtualenv after

sudo apt-get install python3-dev libmysqlclient-dev

which is obviously specific to ubuntu/debian, but I just wanted to share my success 🙂

In Python 3, ConfigParser has been renamed to configparser for PEP 8 compliance. It looks like the package you are installing does not support Python 3.

Python 3 ImportError: No module named ConfigParser

Here is a code that should work in both Python 2.x and 3.x

Obviously you will need the six module, but its almost impossible to write modules that work in both versions without six.

try:
    import configparser
except:
    from six.moves import configparser
