Answer 1

I was getting the same error on Mac OS 10, Python 3.7.6 & Django 2.2.7. I want to use this opportunity to share what worked for me after trying out numerous solutions.

Steps

1. Installed Connector/Python 8.0.20 for Mac OS from link

2. Copy current dependencies into requirements.txt file, deactivated the current virtual env, and deleted it using;

   create the file if not already created with; touch requirements.txt

   copy dependency to file; python -m pip3 freeze > requirements.txt

   deactivate and delete current virtual env; deactivate && rm -rf

3. Created another virtual env and activated it using; python -m venv && source /bin/activate

4. Install previous dependencies using; python -m pip3 install -r requirements.txt
