Mac install MySQL-python 报错 _mysql.c:44:10: fatal error: ‘my_config.h‘ file not found

正常来说直接执行pip安装，就是可以的，但是MySQL-python偏偏比较独特

pip install MySQL-python

报错：

_mysql.c:44:10: fatal error: 'my_config.h' file not found
    #include "my_config.h"
             ^~~~~~~~~~~~~
    1 error generated.
    error: command 'cc' failed with exit status 1

解决第一个问题
执行brew install mysql-connector-c

brew install mysql-connector-c

如果这一步直接完成，那就可以继续pip install MySQL-python了，应该会成功
但是我在这一步执行失败了

遇到第二个问题
brew install mysql-connector-c报错

Error: Cannot install mysql-connector-c because conflicting formulae are installed.
  mysql: because both install MySQL client libraries

Please `brew unlink mysql` before continuing.

解决第二个问题
按照报错的提示，执行brew unlink mysql
没有发生什么意外，执行完毕，继续执行brew install mysql-connector-c
‘mysql-connector-c’安装成功
执行brew link --overwrite mysql，重新连接mysql（这一步我没有做）
然后再执行pip install MySQL-python，如果成功了就搞定了
神奇的是，我在这一步又失败了

遇到的第三个问题
上面的步骤走完以后，执行pip install MySQL-python，报错

        if s[0] in "\"'" and s[0] == s[-1]:
    IndexError: string index out of range

解决第三个问题
修改mysql的配置文件mysql_config，修改前记得cp一下
执行mysql_config，查看一下路径
打开文件vim mysql_config，找到libs="$libs -l "，改为

libs="$libs -lmysqlclient -lssl -lcrypto "

libs="-L$pkglibdir"
# libs="$libs -l "                              # 原来的
libs="$libs -lmysqlclient -lssl -lcrypto "      # 更改后的
embedded_libs="-L$pkglibdir"
embedded_libs="$embedded_libs -l "

如果继续报错提示：

 ld: library not found for -lssl

可以删除掉 -lssl即可，同理如果提示：

 ld: library not found for -lcrypto

删除-lcrypto即可

再来一遍pip install MySQL-python
终于成功了！可喜可贺！可喜可贺！大功告成！！！
小心翼翼的试一下，import MySQLdb，真的成功了

发现第四个问题
开始使用的时候，发现自己用的是python2.x的环境，换成python3.x继续用
在import MySQLdb的时候又出问题了，ModuleNotFoundError: No module named ‘MySQLdb’
尝试使用pip3 install MySQL-python再安装一次，报错

解决第四个问题
查到了原因，感到一阵阵的无语
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.
在Python3中，ConfigParser为了符合PEP8规范，已重命名为configparser。看起来你正在安装的软件包不支持Python3。

因为不支持python3，建议使用pip install pymysql，安装也没那么多套路
其实也找到了解决方案（没有测试，我也不知道对不对，单纯的记录一下）
方法一, 修改six模块为

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

方法二

cp /usr/local/lib/python3.7/configparser.py /usr/local/lib/python3.7/ConfigParser.py
