Broken virtualenv after brew update

I did an update/upgrade of homebrew.

After that, in all my django-projects virtualenvs, Python got broken.

What I did:

  1. Reinstallation of virtualenv package:

    $ pip uninstall virtualenv && pip install virtualenv
$ virtualenv --no-site-packages .virtualenv
$ source .virtualenv/bin/activate

  2. Rebuild virtualenv

    $cd .virtualenv/
$ find . -type l -delete
$ virtualenv .

    OK, Python back in business

  3. Launch local server

    $python manage.py runserver

django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: Error loading MySQLdb module: dlopen(/Users/marta/work/webDev/scaleway_servermg/vetrinamg/.virtualenv/lib/python2.7/site-packages/_mysql.so, 2): Library not loaded: /usr/local/opt/mysql/lib/libmysqlclient.20.dylib
Referenced from: /Users/marta/work/webDev/scaleway_servermg/vetrinamg/.virtualenv/lib/python2.7/site-packages/_mysql.so
Reason: image not found.
Did you install mysqlclient or MySQL-python?

  4. mysql issue

    $pip uninstall MySQL-python
$pip install mysqlclient

  5. Launch server again

    $python manage.py runserver

  [...]

  from easy_thumbnails import utils
  File "/Users/marta/work/webDev/scaleway_servermg/vetrinamg/.virtualenv/lib/python2.7/site-packages/easy_thumbnails/utils.py", line 15, in <module>
  from easy_thumbnails.conf import settings
  File "/Users/marta/work/webDev/scaleway_servermg/vetrinamg/.virtualenv/lib/python2.7/site-packages/easy_thumbnails/conf.py", line 334, in <module>
  settings = Settings()
  File "/Users/marta/work/webDev/scaleway_servermg/vetrinamg/.virtualenv/lib/python2.7/site-packages/easy_thumbnails/conf.py", line 21, in __init__
  super(AppSettings, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
  TypeError: __init__() takes exactly 2 arguments (1 given)

Could anyone point me to the correct solution?

I have the sensation that, as soon I fix a problem, a new one shows up.

Thank you for any help you could provide

before becoming crazy, I decided to delete and recreate my virtualenv: 

 virtualenv --no-site-packages .virtualenv
 source .virtualenv/bin/activate

install the project requirements:

pip install -r vetrinamg/requirements/local.txt

install mysqlclient:

pip install mysqlclient

recreate my local db:

mysql -u root
mysql> CREATE DATABASE db_vetrinamg;
mysql> USE db_vetrinamg;

migrate my models:

python manage.py migrate
python manage.py makemigrations
python manage.py migrate

boom, everything is running smoothly!
