網上看到的是想安裝mysql-python都得安裝mysql本身，可是我就不想安裝這個數據庫，而是用於連接到別的服務器上的mysql，所以下面就是安裝過程：

1. 直接運行: pip install mysql-python，然後報錯如下：

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "setup.py", line 15, in <module>
    metadata, options = get_config()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/MySQL-python-1.2.3/setup_posix.py", line 43, in get_config
    libs = mysql_config("libs_r")
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/MySQL-python-1.2.3/setup_posix.py", line 24, in mysql_config
    raise EnvironmentError("%s not found" % (mysql_config.path,))
EnvironmentError: mysql_config not found
 

如果是centos，直接運行 這個就可以了: yum install mysql-devel

2. apt-get install python-dev

3. apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev

4. pip install mysql-python 就能成功安裝了
