为方便在Linux下使用Python访问Mysql数据库，因此需要先装一个访问Mysql的包，即MySQL-python-1.2.5。
先从https://pypi.org/project/MySQL-python/ 下载上传至服务器/tmp 目录
解压
gunzip MySQL-python-1.2.5.zip
进入包目录、编译、安装
cd /tmp/MySQL-python-1.2.5
# python setup.py build
running build
running build_py
copying MySQLdb/release.py -> build/lib.linux-x86_64-2.7/MySQLdb
running build_ext
building '_mysql' extension

_mysql.c:29:20: fatal error: Python.h: No such file or directory
#include "Python.h"
^
compilation terminated.
error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1
这里报错了，提示缺少Python.h文件，经常是缺少python-devel依赖包
在网站http://pkgs.org 下载对应版本的安装包，上传至服务器并安装
# rpm -Uvh python-devel-2.7.5-76.el7.x86_64.rpm --nodeps
因为我这里的Python版本是2.7.5-68，所以这里使用了 -Uvh --nodeps强制更新，一般情况下版本一致用 -ivh 安装即可。
重新编译、安装通过
# python setup.py build
# python setup.py install
...（略）

进入Pyhton导入Mysqldb包，报错，提示缺失libmysqlclient.so.20动态库，如下
>>> import MySQLdb
/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/MySQL_python-1.2.5-py2.7-linux-x86_64.egg/_mysql.py:3: UserWarning: Module _mysql was already imported from /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/MySQL_python-1.2.5-py2.7-linux-x86_64.egg/_mysql.pyc, but /tmp/MySQL-python-1.2.5 is being added to sys.path

File "build/bdist.linux-x86_64/egg/_mysql.py", line 6, in __bootstrap__
ImportError: libmysqlclient.so.20: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
错误的原因是未能引入libmysqlclient.so.20库，
通过 find / -name libmysqlclient.so.20 查找库文件存在，于是建立链接：
ln -s /usr/local/mysql/lib/libmysqlclient.so.20 /usr/lib64/libmysqlclient.so.20
问题解决。
