installing flask-mysql using conda

I can confirm that if you install with pip install flask-mysql, you will be able to import the package from within your flask environment (after the source activate command). There is no working conda install package for it.

Installing flask-mysql using the command conda install -c auto flask-mysql is currently only supported by Linux. If you check this link, you'll find this package is only available for linux-32 and linux-64

I am assuming you want to install a database toolkit for Flask. May I suggest you use SQLAlchemy? It supports MySQL starting with version 4.1 through modern releases. Follow this link for more details: http://docs.sqlalchemy.org/en/latest/dialects/mysql.html

The conda command to install Flask and SQLAlchemy is:

conda install -c conda-forge flask-sqlalchemy

Or, to get python + flask + mysql working on Mac you can simply type in these commands:

pip install flask

Then,

sudo suexport CFLAGS=-Qunused-argumentsexport CPPFLAGS=-Qunused-argumentspip install MySQL-python

Finally, make a symlink

cd /usr/localsudo ln -s /usr/local/mysql/lib/libmysqlclient.18.dylib /usr/lib/libmysqlclient.18.dylib

I hope this helps! :)
