Cant install mysqlclient on MacOS

Question

I am trying to run my windows created python script on MacOS.

I have managed to install all of the needed modules apart from MySQLdb.

I am trying to install from pip3 using this command:

pip3 install mysqlclient

But get a massive error:

I have tried multiple forum posts that I have found and nothing is working. I have also tried to build from Source but I get an error about ConfigParser not being installed - which it has been via pip.

Please could someone help?!

P.S Pip has been updated to the latest version.
