title: MySQL-python installation failed from python-alpine
body: <p>I'm going to build a docker image by the following Dockerfile:</p>
  
  <pre><code>FROM python:2.7-alpine
  RUN set -ex \
          &amp;&amp; apk --no-cache add --virtual build-dependencies \
          &amp;&amp; pip install --no-cache-dir mysql-python
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>It downloads the package via:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Downloading https://files.pythonhosted.org/packages/a5/e9/51b544da85a36a68debe7a7091f068d802fc515a3a202652828c73453cad/MySQL-python-1.2.5.zip (108kB)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and executes</p>
  
  <pre><code>python setup.py install
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but it failes and returns the following error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>_mysql.c: In function '_mysql_ConnectionObject_ping':
  _mysql.c:2005:41: error: 'MYSQL {aka struct st_mysql}' has no member named 'reconnect'
    if ( reconnect != -1 ) self-&gt;connection.reconnect = reconnect;
                                           ^
  error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but when I try with:</p>
  
  <pre><code>FROM python:2.7
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>it prefectly works.
  any idea?</p>
