Answer 1

This worked for me:

1. brew install mysql-connector-c

2. edit mysql_config (locate it: which mysql_config)

correct this in mysql_config:

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

It shoud be:

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

4. brew info openssl
5. and finally pip3 install mysqlclient
