Error while installing through setup.py #245
Description
I downloaded the zip and unzipped the pattern-master folder to my system.
Then I ran the python setup.py install. After a bunch of modules were installed, it halted because of the following issue:
Searching for mysqlclient

It seems that my system lacks some tools given there but then I am quite new to building Python modules and the like. What possibly could be the issue here?

I am assuming you are using Windows, you can try with
pipand see if it works out.I got the same error on Ubuntu, using
sudo apt-get install libmysqlclient-devresolved my issue. Try instaling thelibmysqlclienton your system.Here's more on the error you encountered.

@ZER-0-NE Yes, it is Windows.
I did try to install through
pipbut failed due to the issue in Python 3. I will install mysql.Thank you!

U can solve it by installing C++ compiler and Windows SDK 8.1.
Fix is (source = Microsoft):

Related to #250. Mysql should probably not be a dependency.
