How to connect FastAPI with Planetscale (mysqlclient error)
Hey, how are you guys doing? I have a backend on Railway who is running with FastAPI (using this template https://railway.app/template/-NvLj4).
I'm also using planetscale, which requires me to have
mysqlclient as a dependency. The problem is that when the app is building I'm getting the error attached.
Does anyone know how can I fix this?8 Replies

Hey, @Brody, thank you for the help! It looks like the error it's a bit different now:

mysql_com.h is said to be included in libmysqlclient-dev
truthfully the mysql dependency with python has always been a mystery, with the solution being, use postgres or use some other pre-built mysql python package
let me see if I can find that package
