Answer 1

Came across this while developing a django-based website, and I needed to set up the website to communicate with a mysql database. I've not used homebrew to do any of my installations.

Since I'm doing the development on a MacOS with Anaconda installed, I discovered that there was an issue with Anaconda. Without knowing the details, I was able to install mysqlclient with conda install mysqlclient

Hope that helps someone else with this problem as well.
