Error when trying to pip install mysqlclient

I'm trying to set up a Python application using the cPanel interface. I've successfully created it and added the requirements.txt file. But when I click the "Run Pip Install" button, and select "requirements.txt", after it spins for a while I get this error message: [quote] error: subprocess-exited-with-error " python setup.py bdist_wheel did not run successfully. ? exit code: 1 ??> See above for output. note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip. ERROR: Failed building wheel for mysqlclient error: subprocess-exited-with-error " Running setup.py install for mysqlclient did not run successfully. ? exit code: 1 ??> See above for output. note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip. error: legacy-install-failure " Encountered error while trying to install package. ??> mysqlclientnote: This is an issue with the package mentioned above, not pip. hint: See above for output from the failure.
The requirements.txt file lists mysqlclient==2.1.0
and my Python app is set to use python 3.8.6. How can I complete the installation?

  Hey there! cPanel doesn't officially provide support for Python tools as outlined in our notice at the tope of this documentation page:

  Thanks. In the end I changed from using mysqlclient to mysql-connector-python which installed OK. A shame the former didn't work. If I wanted to try again, how would I install the mysql-community-devel or mysql-devel packages on cPanel?

  Depends on OS but yum should work for AlmaLinux as well or you can use dnf install [pkg-name] yum install [pkg-name] yum install mysql-devel
yum install mysql-community-devel
  or dnf install mysql-devel
dnf install mysql-community-devel
  [root@server1 ~]# yum install mysql-community-devel Last metadata expiration check: 1:53:02 ago on Wed 11 May 2022 11:43:10 PM CDT. Package mysql-community-devel-8.0.29-1.el8.x86_64 is already installed. Dependencies resolved. Nothing to do. Complete!

  Thank you! I'm a bit wary of installing extra stuff like this, given I'm setting this site up on someone else's server for them. But it's useful to know what to do if mysql-connector-python doesn't work out (or for anyone else finding this page and wondering what to do!).

  I'm glad to hear that worked well!
