I understand now. Thank you for the clarification.

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

I hope this helps.
