I'm trying to install the pip module with mysql-python in a Windows 7 Professional.

The fact is that I'm getting this error:

C:\Users_027>pip install mysql-python

I have tried several solutions that I have seen online, but nothing has worked for me. I have tried to remove Python and reinstall and neither.

Can you guide me a little with this topic?

As @ César says, you need the compiler VC ++ . That the error says that it does not find vcvarsall.bat is the evidence that you do not have it installed.

If you do not want to complicate, do not use pip or easy_install in windows for modules that need compilation. Find the installer for mysql-python or, much better, use conda to install python packages on windows.

Because of the error it can be deduced that it is a compilation problem, you mentioned that you have tried several things but you have not said what they are.

What I recommend is that you install something like Visual Studio Express and try the installation again.

I know it sounds silly, but do not forget to have MySQL installed.

Alternatively, try easy_install to see how it goes.
