i see that i am on python 2.7.6 so i tried this:

19:28 ~ $ pip2.7 install --user pyMsql
    Collecting pyMsql
    Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement pyMsql (from versions: )
No matching distribution found for pyMsql

and still nothing...

Sounds like you worked it out, then :-) For anyone else hitting the same problem, here's the exact command to install PyMySQL for Python 2.7:

pip2.7 install --user PyMySQL
