Need help installing Peewee ORM for Python

[kencodes]

I have a project in which I am trying to connect my python program to a MySQL database in order to authenticate users and keep a log of what they do. I read this article on StackOverflow http://stackoverflow.com/q/372885 that got me interested in using the Peewee ORM to simplify the linking of Python to MySQL.

However, I'm not finding much help on installing Peewee on my Pi and the recommended instructions http://peewee.readthedocs.org/en/latest ... g-manually didn't work. I received this message:

Code: Select all

[email protected] ~/peewee $ sudo python setup.py install
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "setup.py", line 2, in <module>
    from setuptools import setup, find_packages
ImportError: No module named setuptools

Any ideas for how to fix this? Should I even be using Peewee, or should I just code all the lower level SQL commands in my Python program? Thanks for your help.

You need to install setuptools

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install python-setuptools

Author of peewee here -- Let me know if you run into any trouble! You also will want to install the python mysql driver:

Code: Select all

# pure python driver, supports python 2.x and 3.x
pip install pymysql

Code: Select all

# c driver, supports python 2.x
sudo apt-get install python-dev libmysqlclient-dev
pip install MySQL-python
