Upgraded to Ubuntu 16.04 now MySQL-python dependencies are broken


Thank for Largaroth. If you use mysqlclient on Ubuntu 16.04 and have error:ImportError: libmysqlclient.so.18: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

You can fix:

sudo -H pip uninstall mysqlclientsudo -H pip install --no-binary mysqlclient mysqlclient


I ended up finding the solution to my problems with pip install --no-binary MySQL-python MySQL-pythonas stated in this thread : Python's MySQLdb can’t find libmysqlclient.dylib with Homebrewed MySQL


I had the same issue. I uninstalled and reinstalled MySQL-python:

pip uninstall MySQL-pythonpip install MySQL-python
