Can’t import mysql.connector in Python

As the title says, i can’t import mysql.connector in python on Debian 9.13

This is what i did

# python
 Python 2.7.13 (default, Sep 26 2018, 18:42:22) [GCC 6.3.0 20170516] on
 linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more
 information.
>>> import mysql.connector
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/mysql/connector/__init__.py", line 53, in <module>
    from .connection import MySQLConnection
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/mysql/connector/connection.py", line 450
    f"This connection is using {tls_version} which is now "
                                                          ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

I tried installing, uninstalling and reinstalling mysql-connector, mysql-connector-python and mysql-connector-python-rf in Python2.7 and Python3

Before someone flags this question as duplicated, i already tried all the answers in this posts:

This connection is using {tls_version} which is now

Unresolved import mysql.connector PYTHON

import mysql.connector ModuleNotFoundError: No module named ‘mysql.connector’; ‘mysql’ is not a package

mysql connector not found

ImportError: No module named ‘MySQL’

This connection is using {tls_version} which is now, unable to deploy Flask application on Linux

Any help would be appreciated.

Answer

As @TimRoberts and @Dhivakar Chelladurai said in te comments, the solution is to find a version of MySQL-Connector-Python for Python2 or Python3.5 max as this is the last version that Debian 9 has for Python3.

1. Download:

wget https://dev.mysql.com/get/Downloads/Connector-Python/mysql-connector-python_2.1.8-1debian9_all.deb

2. Install:

sudo dpkg -i mysql-connector-python_2.1.8-1debian9_all.deb

Thats it!
