Installation dependency issue on Debian and windows

[JasperAlgra]

Hi,

The

install_requires=[
        'mysql-connector>=2.0.2',
]

which can be found on setup.py:18. Creates an issue on when installing on debian or windows.

Result: Unable to find Protobuf include directory.

On debian (8) this can be fixed by installing manually:

• wget https://dev.mysql.com/get/Downloads/Connector-Python/mysql-connector-python-py3_2.1.7-1debian8.2_all.deb
• dpkg -i mysql-connector-python-py3_2.1.7-1debian8.2_all.deb

and commenting out the dependency sed -i '/mysql-connector>/s/^/#/' setup.py

On windows the dependency issue is exactly the same, but I'm still working on a fix. The mysql-connector package won't play nice (install) when not using the .msi installer for python3.

Hi,
Ah right, this is the same issue here as I have reported to MySQL previously:

https://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=85666

The workaround is to change and use exact version 2.1.4 here:

install_requires=[
        'mysql-connector==2.1.4',
]

So could you please test it also?
I have already fixed it in release 1.4.9 but not yet released(it is in draft).

Tested both on Windows (10) and Debian 8, both python 3.4 and works both. Thanks!

Funny because pip install on debian of python-mysql-connector 2.1.4 failed as well. pip install mysql-connector==2.1.4

Thanks once again :)
