How to resolve setup.py egg_info did not run successfully

Python Help
1

Hi,
I am in the very initial stages of learning python. I was hoping that someone would be able to resolve the “setup.py egg_info did not run successfully”. I am using Linux Mint and have a Python version of 3.10.12

Hey Rashnavi ummmh so what were you upto when you encountered the error… share the whole error info… this could be a dependency issue like you need to have build-essentials installed… but first things did you do the norm apt update && upgrade

Thanks for the response Kyle:

from flask import Flask, render_template, request
from flask_mysqldb import MySQL
app = Flask(name)
app.config[‘MYSQL_HOST’] = ‘localhost’
app.config[‘MYSQL_USER’] = ‘root’
app.config[‘MYSQL_PASSWORD’] = ‘’
app.config[‘MYSQL_DB’] = ‘pythonbasicoperation’
mysql = MySQL(app)
@app.route(“/”)
def Home():
daysname = [“Mon”,“Tue”,“Wed”,“Thur”,“Fri”,“Sat”,“Sun”]
return render_template(“index.html”,days=daysname)
@app.route(“/about”)
def About():
return render_template(“about.html”)

This is what I was trying to do and the error that I got was:

from flask_mysqldb import MySQL
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named ‘flask_mysqldb’

Oh I see … for starters have you installed that module pip install flask_mysqldb

yeah, I tried, but got "Defaulting to user installation because normal site-packages is not writeable
ERROR: Invalid requirement: ‘flask_’ "
