Python 3 ImportError: No module named ‘ConfigParser’

You can instead use the mysqlclient package as a drop-in replacement for MySQL-python. It is a fork of MySQL-python with added support for Python 3.

I had luck with simply

pip install mysqlclient

in my python3.4 virtualenv after

sudo apt-get install python3-dev libmysqlclient-dev

which is obviously specific to ubuntu/debian, but I just wanted to share my success 🙂
