pip install django mysqlclient 'path should be string, bytes, os.PathLike or integer, not NoneType' on windows

Question

I am new to Python and Django and want to install mysqlclient on windows. When I use the command pip install django mysqlclient in cmd it throws this error :

File "d:\myprojects\python\mytestdjangoprj\myproject\lib\genericpath.py", line 30, in isfile st = os.stat(path) TypeError: stat: path should be string, bytes, os.PathLike or integer, not NoneType

Please help me.

• Alasdair: Make sure you are using 64 bit Python. There are wheels for the latest mysqlclient 1.4.5, so pip install mysqlclient should work today as long as you are using 64 bit Python 3.6, 3.7 or 3.8.

Answer 1

As Alasdair said , using 64 bit solve problem.thanks Alasdair.
