Installing pymysql for Python 2.5.1 or lower


it doesn't seem like I can find PyMySQL for python 2.5.1 by searching google. Does anyone have external links.

Where do I download/install PyMySQL for python 2.5.1 or lower?

If it's not possible, how do I use MySQL in python 2.5.1?

Specs: Windows 8 : Python 2.5.1


Solution

  • PyMySQL is a reasonably new project and was released well after Python 2.5 was already deprecated, so it has never supported it.

    You'll probably have better luck with MySQLdb, which apparently supports Python 2.4 upwards.

    Alternatively, given that 2.5 is such an old version of Python, you could consider upgrading to a more modern and supported version.
