Answer 1

you have to install python-mysqldb - Python interface to MySQL

Try
sudo apt-get install python-mysqldb

Answer 2

With the same error message as Will, it worked for me to install mysql first as the missing file will be added during the installation. So after

brew install mysql

pip install mysql-python

ran without errors.

Answer 3

Just to add to other answers, if you're using Django, it is advisable that you install mysql-python BEFORE installing Django.

Answer 4

Maybe you can try the following mode of operation:
sudo python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000

Answer 5

Download and install Mysql-python from here for windows environment. http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#mysql-python.

Answer 6

I think it is the version error.

try installing this in following order:

1. sudo apt-get install python3-mysqldb

2. pip3 install mysqlclient

3. python3 manage.py makemigrations

4. python3 manage.py migrate
