I already tried several way

  • pip install opencv-contrib-python (can install no work)
  • pip install mysqlclient==1.3.12 (show same error)
  • I install the mycsqlclient from Wheel Link (show this error mysqlclient-1.4.2-cp38-cp38m-win_amd64.whl is not a supported wheel on this platform.)

My python version is: 3.7.3

(I come from desktop environment and while I read the Django, its say “Ridiculously fast” but now for MySQL connection problem took 4 days already).

It seems like your Build Tools cannot handle some .h files. You can use unofficial precompiled package database to get already compiled mysqlclient.
After downloading it run

pip install name-of-whl-file.whl

If the python+win version of whl file fails to install, try using another version. Always works for me if Build Tools fail.

You have downloaded the wrong wheel. The error message says you tried to install mysqlclient-1.4.2-cp38-cp38m-win_amd64.whl, which is for Python 3.8.

Since you are using Python 3.7, you should use either mysqlclient‑1.4.2‑cp37‑cp37m‑win32.whl or mysqlclient‑1.4.2‑cp37‑cp37m‑win_amd64.whl depending on whether you have installed 32-bit or 64-bit Python.

try this:

pip install mysqlclient-1.4.4-cp38-cp38-win_amd64.whl

if it did’nt work, then use the 32bit version

 pip install mysqlclient-1.4.4-cp38-cp38-win32.whl

The best way to install mysql-client is to go to https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#mysqlclient and you will find many mysql-client wheels.

  • Download the first one #do not change the name of the file,,
  • open command prompt,
  • use cd to go to the directory where your wheel has been installed,
  • then use pip install (name of file) #use .whl as well

if it doesn’t work, download the second one and repeat the process, if that doesn’t work as well, keep on downloading until I guarantee you that at least one of them would be installed in your computer

You can use pymysql

1.Install pymysql

pip install pymysql

  1. Modify your init.py file

    import pymysql

    pymysql.install_as_MySQLdb()

You can start your project
