Answer 2

Try this first

Then

pip install mysqlclient

Answer 3

ensuring you have had done the needful with python...

and installing on the global level... (not virtual environment)

sudo apt-get install mysql-server pip install --upgrade setuptools

I had come across the same problem, because I installed default Python2.7.15, and python3 would break even after doing the needful for Python (being python2)

something that worked for me was (effectively the last one is what made it work, but i think they were equally required on my virtualenvironment with python3)

sudo apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev
sudo apt-get install python3-pymysql
sudo apt-get install python3.6-dev

python3.7 in your case in the virtualenv

I also had to go through..

Answer 4

I installed the following library on Ubuntu and after that, the issue got resolved.

sudo apt-get install libssl-dev

and then I was able to install mysqlclient using the following command

pip install mysqlclient

Answer 5

Use Anaconda and execute conda install mysqlclient

Answer 6

use this command : sudo apt-get install libssl-dev
