Install python mysqldb in python3 not python

Question

I have Ubuntu and python3 is installed since it has a script written in it. Since I use MYSQL with MySQLdb, I installed

apt-get install python-mysqldb

however, this installed MySQLdb for Python (which is 2.6 on Ubuntu), not Python3.

• How to install MySQLdb for Python3
• Should I use it at all or switch to PyMSQL

Sorry, I just started working with Python today ...

As far as I know, it is not ported to python3.

Answer 2

MySQLdb is not yet compatible with Python3, but oursql is a Python-MySQL driver.
