ImportError:Nenhum módulo chamado mysql.connector usando Python2

Eu estava enfrentando o problema semelhante. Detalhes do meu env -Python 2.7.11pip 9.0.1CentOS versão 5.11 (final)

Erro no interpretador python -

>>> import mysql.connector
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>

Use pip para pesquisar o módulo disponível -

 $ pip search mysql-connector | grep --color mysql-connector-python



mysql-connector-python-rf (2.2.2)        - MySQL driver written in Python
mysql-connector-python (2.0.4)           - MySQL driver written in Python

Instale o mysql-connector-python-rf -

$ pip install mysql-connector-python-rf
