of course no need to install MariaDB MySQL server so can leave off mariadb-server yum install

edit: quick google search (good skill to have ) revels python-imaging package refers to older CentOS 6 package for python imaging library but newer versions use a forked version called python-pillow which CentOS 7 and several 3rd party CentOS 6 yum repos provide instead of python-imaging GitHub - python-pillow/Pillow: The friendly PIL fork (Python Imaging Library)

some of packages differ in name and some are only available in 3rd party yum repositories which you can search for at CentOS Repositories - pkgs.org but you can potentially mess up server and all yum repos' installed packages if you do not know what you're doing yum repo install/config wise. Centmin Mod for this reason uses yum priorities plugin to manage potential conflicts where more than one 3rd party yum repositories offer the same package as CentOS default yum repo Third Party YUM Repos with Centmin Mod - CentminMod.com LEMP Nginx web stack for CentOS

 

ah I see for MySQL-python it's excluded from main yum config file to protect MariaDB MySQL yum packages so that users don't accidentally install MySQL Oracle based server over MariaDB MySQL. So you need to use the yum flag --disableexcludes=main to disable excludes for main yum repo

Code (Text):

 yum list MySQL-python --disableexcludes=main
