PyQt5 MySQL Drivers Not Loaded

[AdeS]

How about posting your code before you give up. Maybe you are making a little mistake that is easy to fix.

Hi i deanhystad - you're right to ask for the snippet. Been banging my head against
a wall and jus got frustrated. see code snippet below (i'm trying to test the connection object):

from PyQt5 import QtSql
from PyQt5.QtGui import *
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import *
from PyQt5.QtCore import *
from PyQt5.QtSql import *

import sys

def search():

    mydb = QtSql.QSqlDatabase.addDatabase("QMySQL")
    mydb.setHostName("localhost")
    mydb.setUserName("root")
    mydb.setPassword("pioneer1")
    mydb.setDatabaseName("FriqueDB")
    mydb.open()

    if mydb.open():

        print('database is opened')
    else: print('database not opened')

btn1 =QPushButton(win)
btn1.setText('Search')
btn1.move(370,210)
btn1.show()
btn1.clicked.connect(search)


win.show()

sys.exit(app.exec_())

This is the output:

Error:
QSqlDatabase: QMySQL driver not loaded
QSqlDatabase: available drivers: QSQLITE QODBC QODBC3 QPSQL QPSQL7
