要想使python可以操作mysql 就需要MySQL-python驱动，它是python 操作mysql必不可少的模块。

下载地址：https://pypi.python.org/pypi/MySQL-python/

下载MySQL-python-1.2.5.zip 文件之后直接解压。进入MySQL-python-1.2.5目录:

python setup.py install

报错：

[root@centos7 MySQL-python-1.2.4]# python setup.py install

sh: mysql_config: command not found

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "setup.py", line 18, in <module>

    metadata, options = get_config()

  File "/root/MySQL-python-1.2.4/setup_posix.py", line 43, in get_config

    libs = mysql_config("libs_r")

  File "/root/MySQL-python-1.2.4/setup_posix.py", line 25, in mysql_config

    raise EnvironmentError("%s not found" % (mysql_config.path,))

EnvironmentError: mysql_config not found

网上查了一下需安装mysql-devel 

#yum -y install mysql-devel 

安装成功后

# python setup.py install

安装成功。

[root@centos7 MySQL-python-1.2.5]# python

用安装Python模块出现error: command ‘gcc‘ failed with exit status 1 ，明明装了gcc的，怎么会不行呢，然后发觉是failed不是not found，这说明这个错误个gcc没多大关系，应该是缺少某些功能模块，然后谷歌了一下，先后安装了python-devel,libffi-devel后还是不行，最后发觉要安装openssl-devel才行

可如下命令行安装：

yum install gcc libffi-devel python-devel openssl-devel

centos7 安装mysql--python模块出现EnvironmentError: mysql_config not found和error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1
