Debian 11 Bullseye | Python 3.9.x | pip install mysql-connector-python-rf problems

I just installed a fresh Debian 11 Bullseye w/ Python 3.9.x

Installing my previous Python modules I only ran into 1 problem; mysql-connector-python-rf (which is what I need to properly continue my Python Journey).

The following is the error I receive in (root):

Thank you everyone for this forum!

Since the problem clearly lies with the package mysql-connector-python-rf,
I'd contact the maintainer of the package (found here: https://pypi.org/project/mysql-connector-python-rf/ ) and send them the same info provided here

You may get an answer here as well, but perhaps sooner with maintainer.

Look at date of mysql-connector-python-rf 2017
Use the official update one mysql-connector-python or a alterative like PyMySQL( pure-Python MySQL client library).

Larz60,

Thank you for this answer! That's a great idea!

Best Regards,

Brandon!

snippsat,

I wonder why I had -rf package rather than "mysql-connector-python"; Thank you! I was able to find and install the package as follows:

I haven't tested it yet! If I run into a problem I won't hesitate to ask you! Thank you again!
