How to install mySQL Connector in Python? It's easy.

 Hello! If you're here because you wanna know how to install mySQL Connector in Python. I've spent a good few hours painstakingly experimenting just to write this post. So enjoy your read!



Python + MySQL 

Sooo you'll need these things first off:-

1. Python with 'pip' (preferably Python 3.8)
2. MySQL Installation (with Workbench)

I'm lazy to paste links so search them urself


Already have Python but unsure if you have pip or not?

In Command Prompt on Windows or Terminal on Mac, type and enter: pip --version . If pip version is shown then it is installed.



If you're screen looks something like this after doing the check, just reinstall Python 3.8 again. lol.

Also, another tip: when installing mySQL, make sure to download all the assets right away instead of customising the installation.

I will soon post a follow-up because my head is hurting lol, (no one is going to read this anyways) bye

Copilot has received some sweet new updates which were enough to prove us wrong regarding its competency. If you've been to busy to catch up with the hectic AI race between these two giants, don't worry, I haven't been hitting the news lately too., but based on my usage, I'm confident that I'll make this showoff between these AI models as unbiased and accurate as possible... So let's jump right into it: PRESENTATION MATTERS When it comes to end user products, presentation is key. Have you noticed the native Android apps of Gemini and Copilot lately? Copilot offers up a lot of new ways to use AI right out of the bat on the homescreen, while Gemini's app is just a copy of the web version, both of which are merely chat windows. No/ only meagre inspirations or suggestions c...

 Yes, they do. In a slightly different way. Example: match input("enter 1 or 2"):       case "1":                  print("bye")        case "2":                   print("hai")        case _:    #For any other input, like 'else'                   print('invalid')
