virtualenv: Getting error when installing python-mysql
Here's a possible way on fixing the error you encounter when installing python-mysql inside the virtualenv.
Error:
... metadata, options = get_config()
File "setup_posix.py", line 43, in get_config
libs = mysql_config("libs_r")
File "setup_posix.py", line 24, in mysql_config
raise EnvironmentError("%s not found" % (mysql_config.path,))
EnvironmentError: mysql_config not found
Solution:
(Install the following packages)
sudo apt-get install python-mysqldb
sudo apt-get install libmysqlclient16
sudo apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev
