I try to run "pip3 install mysqlclient" on macos for an app in django and it gives me this error.
I'm using a venv virtual environment, the python version used is 3.10.5
pip3 install mysqlclient
Collecting mysqlclient
Using cached mysqlclient-2.1.1.tar.gz (88 kB)
Preparing metadata (setup.py) ... error
