Oursql insallation failing wtih "cython not found"

Question

Trying to install oursql driver for python3x and sqlalchemy0.8 on ubuntu 12.10. It fails with the following error. ``` sudo pip-3.2 install oursql Downloading/unpacking oursql Running setup.py egg_info for package oursql Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 16, in File "/tmp/pip-build/oursql/setup.py", line 53 print "cython not found, using previously-cython'd .c file." ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info: Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 16, in File "/tmp/pip-build/oursql/setup.py", line 53 print "cython not found, using previously-cython'd .c file." ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax ``` When I try to install cython I seem to already have it: ``` sudo pip-3.2 install cython Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade): cython in /usr/local/lib/python3.2/dist-packages Cleaning up. ``` What can I do to make it run?

Accepted Answer

Had the same error when running pip-3.2.

This is how I made it work:

Created my env using python-3.2:

```
virtualenv -p /usr/bin/python3.2
```

Installed the required packages:

```
sudo apt-get install python-dev

sudo apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev
```

Then installed:

```
sudo pip install cython

sudo pip install oursql
```

Edit1:

I was able to get pass you error with my above recomendations, but i was wrong (python3.2 was unable to read oursql). I tried the following and was able to make a connection:

First:

```
sudo apt-get install python3.2-dev
```

Then installed oursql for Python 3 from source (as suggested by it's maintainer here):

Get the Python 3 version of oursql from here and compile it from source (Don't have enough reputation to post the link, just go to oursql official site for installation instructions).
