title: How do you install mysql-connector-python (development version) through pip?
body: <p>I have a virtualenv in which I am running Django 1.8 with Python 3.4</p>
  
  <p>I am trying to get support for MySQL however I am having trouble getting the different connectors to work. I have always used mysql-connector-python with django 1.7 and would like to continue using it.</p>
  
  <p>The development version of mysql-connector-python (2.1.2) seems to have support for Django 1.8 now.</p>
  
  <p>How do I install the development version using pip install (within my virtualenv)? I have tried running the following command:</p>
  
  <pre><code>pip install mysql-connector-python==2.1.2 --allow-external mysql-connector-python
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but the 2.1.2 developer version is not available there:</p>
  
  <pre><code>could not find a version that satisfies the requirement mysql-connector-python==2.1.2 (from versions: 1.1.4, 1.1.5, 1.1.6, 1.2.2, 1.2.3, 2.0.1, 2.0.2, 2.0.3, 2.0.4)
    Some insecure and unverifiable files were ignored (use --allow-unverified mysql-connector-python to allow).
  No matching distribution found for mysql-connector-python==2.1.2
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I have tried downloading the file directly from: <a href="http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/python/" rel="noreferrer">http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/python/</a></p>
  
  <p>...but for some reason after installation the connector is not available within my virtualenv</p>
  
  <p>Help please :-) Thank you.

  <p><strong>EDIT:</strong> 
  I have tried 
  <code>pip install mysql-python</code> but it is not supported by Python 3.4</p>
