HI!
mysql-python relies on mysql_config for its installation. Trying to pip
install it without the complete mariadb package (where mysql_config is
found
https://pkgs.alpinelinux.org/contents?file=mysql_config&path=&name=&branch=edge&repo=main&arch=armhf),
results on an error:
/app # pip install mysql-python
Collecting mysql-python

Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info:

EnvironmentError: mysql_config not found
----------------------------------------
Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in
/tmp/pip-build-GEIJC6/mysql-python
After installing mariadb-dev package (with mariadb as a dependency) it
can find mysql_config and succesfully install mysql-python.
On other distros (debian based) its enought to install
libmysqlclient-dev. The same "problem" occurs with psycopg2 and postgres.
I suggest to rethink the mariadb related package to allow the
installation of python modules without the need to install the entire
database server. Thanks a lot!
