For Python 2.7 on specific programs:

1. sudo chown -R $USER /Library/Python/2.7
2. brew install mysql@5.7
3. brew install mysql-connector-c
4. brew link --overwrite mysql@5.7
5. echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/opt/mysql@5.7/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bash_profile
6. sed -i -e 's/libs="$libs -l "/libs="$libs -lmysqlclient -lssl -lcrypto"/g' /usr/local/bin/mysql_config
7. pip install MySql-python
