I have a Python/Django project that I manage using PyCharm. Everything was working perfectly under Mac OSX Yosemite. This morning I upgraded to the final release version of El Capitan, now I cannot run the project. The error I get is:

Error loading MySQLdb module: No module named MySQLdb

I've tried all the suggestions from past questions, but none has resolved it. The most common suggestion seems to be:

sudo pip install MySQL-python

When I do that, I get:

Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade): MySQL-python in /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages

None of the other suggestions help either. I can try reinstalling MySQL, but I don't think it's the MySQL that's broken. This might have something to do with permissions. Can anyone please help get me going again?

Happened to me as well. I removed the package, installed mysql using Homebrew and then reinstall the package.

pip uninstall MySQL-python
brew install mysql
pip install MySQL-python

If you run into any issues with brew, be sure to check their troubleshooting page on El Capitan.
