Hi all,  
I’m creating a new module for 3D Slicer 4.8.1. It will have to connect to MySql database. So, first of all I installed mysql-connetor in ubuntu

> pip install mysql-connector

then in my 3D Slicer module I added

> import mysql.connector

But when I run 3D Slicer, it tells me

> Traceback (most recent call last):  
> File “”, line 1, in   
> File “/home/pippo/Git/Project/src/Module.py”, line 8, in   
> import mysql.connector  
> ImportError: No module named mysql.connector

Can someone help me?

Thanks

Carlo

I was able to get pymsql to work with slicer. It’s pretty straightforward.
