MySQL-python can't install with container circleci/python:2.7.16

My build works with the following using docker container circleci/python:2.7.15

As best as I can tell, there is nothing different in the python releases that would cause this. I am unsure what the other differences are between containers or what a solution is. Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I’m seeing the same issue.

So, I noticed that they switched the python:2.7.16 image to using Debian Buster. If you use the python:2.7.16-stretch image, it’ll work (I believe this was the image used before the distro version switch).
