I have installed Python version 3.4.0 and I would like to do a project with MySQL database. I downloaded and tried installing MySQLdb, but it wasn't successful for this version of Python. Any suggestions how could I fix this problem and install it properly?

python mysql python-3.x mysql-python python-3.4

MySQLdb does not support Python 3 but it is not the only MySQL driver for Python. mysqlclient is essentially just a fork of MySQLdb with Python 3 support merged in (and a few other improvements). PyMySQL is a pure python MySQL driver, which means it is slower, but it does not require a compiled C component or MySQL libraries and header files to be installed on client machines. It has Python 3 support.
