Mac pip install mysql-python unsuccessful

Question

I installed MySQL and Workbench from website. I have a django project whose requirements.txt:

Django==1.11.12
djangorestframework==3.8.2
django-cors-headers=         


        

Answer 1

Installing of an older version of the MySQL worked for me:

brew remove mysql
brew install mysql@5.7
brew link --force mysql@5.7
pip install mysql-python
