When I try to install MySQL-python using pip for Python 2.7, it is not working anymore on Ubuntu 20.04 - on Ubuntu 18.04 it still works...
Any idea of how I could make this run on Ubuntu 20.04?
I know that Python 2.7 is not supported anymore, but I do still need to run it on my Ubuntu 20.04 server as I am running an older version of Trac which I can't upgrade right now because of plugins that are not working in the latest version...
root@andreas-VirtualBox:/home/andreas# pip install MySQL-python
