There's two potential solutions to this, but first a piece of advice: never run the command pip directly. What you really want is <path to python> -m pip, replacing <path to python> with the path to the specific Python you want to install for. That way you guarantee that pip will install into the environment/interpreter you expect instead of just whatever pip happens to be first on your PATH.
With that out of the way, option one is to make sure that the Python environment you have selected in the Python extension matches the one you have been installing into. Simply running pip does not guarantee this, and so it's quite possible you have been installing into one version of Python but connecting the Python extension to another. You can run Python: Select interpreter in the command palette to choose the proper environment (or click on the Python interpreter details down in the status bar).
The second option -- and in my opinion the better one -- is to create a virtual environment and do the installation in there. So you could do <path to python> -m venv .venv in the directory of your workspace and the Python extension will pick this up and ask if you want to use that virtual environment. When you open a new terminal it should activate that virtual environment, letting you run python -m pip to install into that virtual environment (you can also do the activation manually or simply specify the path to the Python interpreter in the virtual environment directly when running -m pip).
I am starting with Python and did short script in VScode. When I try to run it I get this error:
PS C:\Users\spider> & C:/Python39/python.exe c:/Users/spider/drek.pyTraceback (most recent call last):File "c:\Users\spider\drek.py", line 5, in <module>import mysql.connectorModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'mysql'
I ran pip install mysql-connector and it installed it. If I run pip list I get this:
PS C:\Users\spider> pip list
Package Version---------------------- -------mysql-connector 2.2.9mysql-connector-python 8.0.24pip 21.0.1protobuf 3.15.8six 1.15.0wheel 0.36.2

Why I can't use MySql commands and how to fix it?

It took me more than two hours to solve this.
There can be multiple problems:-
You r saving that python file as mysql.py which causes this error. solution : change the name. This one is exception. explanation : https://discussion.dreamhost.com/t/helping-installing-a-python-mysql-connection/64222
Path of python is not added in SYSTEM VARIABLES as it may be present in users but may not be updated there. So, check path of both python and Mysql. It is very important step.
You might be using idle saved on desktop as shortcut. So don't and open from start.
As many people suggested, use pip method to install connector and also check path again.

Hope any of this works. It took me a lot of googling and reading.

I faced the same error when I'm using Pycharm. Installing other packages works for me. You could try and install this and try running if it solves your problem.
pip install mysql-connector-python-rf
Another solution would be restarting your local IDE which is VScode. I used VScode as my main IDE and installing some modules in python makes it raised an error like ModuleNotFound. Restarting it solved the problem.
I had the same issue as you. What I did was press control+shift+p. Will pop up to select Python interpreter. Go and select the interpreter of python that is in your virtual environment. The one that is in your scripts. Mine was fine after I did that.
It could be the case where you are running the Python file with the wrong Python installation. In VS Code we can choose the interpreter using which we want to run our Python file.
By default, the Python extension looks for and uses the first Python interpreter it finds in the system path. To select a specific environment, use the Python: Select Interpreter command from the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P).
Just choose Python 3.8.9 from the list of interpreters. For complete guide you can refer to the documentation: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/python/environments#_select-and-activate-an-environment
You got two Python installed in your system. Python3 and Python2. Pip3 is just for python3. You must use pip2 or pip2.7 for work with python2. Search if you got the pip2 package installed is not then install it.
I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 and using pycharm IDE with the anaconda interpreter.
I have installed the mysql.connector module, however whenever I try to import and run the mysql.connector, I get the 'ImportError: No module named mysql.connector'.
If I run import mysql.connector within the python console I receive... Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/my_name/anaconda2/lib/python2.7/site-packages/IPython/core/interactiveshell.py", line 2885, in run_code exec(code_obj, self.user_global_ns, self.user_ns) File "<ipython-input-2-8eb88b59635b>", line 1, in <module> import mysql.connector File "/usr/lib/pycharm-community/helpers/pydev/_pydev_bundle/pydev_import_hook.py", line 21, in do_import module = self._system_import(name, *args, **kwargs) ImportError: No module named mysql.connector
The file path to the mysql connector I can find is /usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/mysql/connector
Anyone have an idea what is going wrong here?
Thanks in advance to any replies or solutions...
