I am trying to install pymysql to a windows 8 machine and have been having trouble with the installation for python 3.3 I got the mython-mysql driver to work fine for 2.7 but this is giving me some issues so far I have been denied access which I fixed with

runas /savecred /user:Luke "python setup.py install" luke is an administrator profile and should have access but this prompts on a second window the following error:

Python: can't open file 'setup.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory.

to fix this I prefaced the install command with:

cd C:\Python33\PyMySQL\py3k\

unfortunately this did not fix the problem and still receiving the same error message.

i have checked Python: setup.py missing: No such file or directory but it only said to change the directory which I have tried

Does anyone have any idea as to why this might be happening? The file is there. why can't it read or find it?

  • I installed the py3k build (build-py3k.sh) with cygwin but there was a patch file. could the patch file be the key? it's name was setup.py.py3k.patch – Luke Smith Jul 11 '13 at 02:48
  • Check where Python is installed using the "where" command (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/304319/is-there-an-equivalent-of-which-on-the-windows-command-line). I have only used the Unix which equivalent, so YMMV. –  Jul 11 '13 at 04:19
  • I used the where command and it gave me "C:\Python33\PyMySQL\py3k\setup.py" so I ran: runas /savecred /user:Luke "python C:\Python33\PyMySQL\py3k\setup.py install" and it returned the same error – Luke Smith Jul 11 '13 at 05:00
  • Try python --version and tell me which version of python it returns –  Jul 11 '13 at 06:48

  • Didn't work for me. I got..... The following error occurred while trying to add or remove files in the installation directory: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/test-easy-install-29327.write-test' – FumbleFingers Jun 28 '20 at 22:56
  • Belay that! I'm still a complete noob with Linux, but I made a wild guess and retried step 4 as "**sudo** python setup.py install" - BINGO! – FumbleFingers Jun 28 '20 at 23:04
