Amazon Linux 2023: Installing mysqlclient for Python 3.11

0

Hello I have upgraded my python from the default 3.9 to 3.11 using

sudo dnf install python3.11 -y

I am unable to install mysqlclient using pip3.11 as it gives me the following error

....

  note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.

However mysqlclient does install with Python3.9. I am unable to figure out how to resolve this error. Has anyone come across this issue? Thanks in advance for your time and help

Ok - by a stroke of luck I came across this answer on stackoverflow - https://stackoverflow.com/a/75957438/776543

I just had to modify it for python 3.11 sudo dnf install -y mariadb105-devel gcc python3.11-devel

And it worked!!!
