Error Summary

The issue is with MySQL package. Yum is trying to satisfy requirements by install mysql-libX, and that rpm conflicts with files from package MySQL55-server .

To fix the issue, you should install libmysqlclient_r.so.16 on your server. That can be done installing mysqlclient16 RPM from our test repository:

yum--enablerepo=cloudlinux-updates-testing install mysqlclient16--disableexcludes=all

After that MySQL-Python will be installed without any issues.
