How do I install pymysql in Python?

The standard way to install pymysql is by running `python -m pip install pymysql`. If you are using Anaconda, use `conda install -c conda-forge pymysql`.

Why causes the 'No module named pymysql' error?

This error occurs when the python interpreter cannot locate the `pymysql` package. It is often caused by missing installation or environment mismatch (e.g. installing in global but running in venv).
