I have already installed
I want use MySQL with Django, but after install mysql connector I was try to install mysqlclient for Python on $ pip install mysqlclient, but I have this issue:
Collecting mysqlclient
Using cached mysqlclient-1.3.10.tar.gz
Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 1, in <module>

----------------------------------------
Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in /private/var/folders/y_/c31n_1v12v169zfv829p_v_80000gn/T/pip-build-f51KhW/mysqlclient/
I needed the following to build / install mysqlclient
brew install mysql-client
# mysql-client is not on the `PATH` by default
export PATH="/usr/local/opt/mysql-client/bin:$PATH"
# openssl is not on the link path by default
export LIBRARY_PATH="$LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib/"
Then I could pip wheel mysqlclient / pip install mysqlclient successfully
I have encountered this problem too，below is my step：
1.brew install mysql-connector-c
2.pip install mysqlclient
and then encountered this error,i have Traced the source code，but solved this one then the other error occured.
so i changed the way to install mysqlclient,just :
1.brew install mysql
2.pip install mysqlclient
this worked for me,no any errors occured.
Install mysql-client instead of mysql if you don't plan to have mysql in your computer
brew install mysql-client
echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/opt/mysql-client/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bash_profile
source ~/.bash_profile
pip install mysqlclient
export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib"
export CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/opt/openssl/include"
