Answer 1

Copy from this blog.

By finding out the information that mysql-connector-cmight come to the conclusion that the configuration by brew installation may be incorrect , open the /usr/local/bin/mysql_config script to modify some of the contents of it:

#Create options
Libs = "-L$pkglibdir "
Libs = "$libs -l"

change into:

#Create options
Libs = "-L$pkglibdir"
Libs = "$libs -lmysqlclient -lssl -lcrypto"

Save
Then re-install mysql-python:

pip install mysql-python
