Installing MySQL-python with pip, get "failed with error code 1" -

i'm using django 1.8 python 3.4 in virtualenv on windows vista, , i'm trying connect mysql database project. realized need have mysql-python installed that.

so tried install mysql-python command prompt pip command:

pip install mysql-python 

and got error message saying:

error: microsoft visual c++ 10.0 required (unable find vcvarsall.bat). 

i went download microsoft visual c++ 2010 said had more recent version installed (i think installed visual 2013 time ago).

i don't understand why wouldn't work more recent version of visual c++, , can't find answers anywhere.

if me resolve issue great.

thanks.

your best bet @ open issues on github project. in particular take @ issue 98:

mysqlclient de-facto successor of mysql-python.

https://pypi.python.org/pypi/mysqlclient

it appears mysql-python no longer maintained , legacy version, github project page states.

good luck.
