I am trying to install MySQL-python by pip but it threw above error. Can anyone help?

I have checked this page How to install Python MySQLdb module using pip? but it doesn't really help.

It's python3.5 in my virtualenv folder.

I've been working on your setup and duplicated the result. Further research indicates that MySQL-python is only for Python 2.x. One recommendation I found is to use mysqlclient, but when I installed it I received the same error.

However, I am on a Windows 10 dev box using Visual Studio 2015 and I see an error regarding a file "my_config.h" is missing. Not certain if this is just my box or what.

I did find that installing PyMySql did seem to work, from an installation view point. I simply did pip install pymysql inside my virtual env. I found this solution here

brew install mysql

After installation is complete, mysql path will be shown at the last. Use it in command

sudo PATH=/usr/local/Cellar/mysql/bin/:$PATH pip install mysql-python
