命令$ python3 manage.py migration错误

Question

I'm new to Django and I am running Django inside a virtualenv on MacOS with python 3.6. The command $python3 manage.py migrate but I keep getting an error asking me to install mysqlclient.

Traceback (most recent call last):

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

 Did you install mysqlclient?

pip3 freeze looks like this:

Django==2.0.1
mysqlclient==1.3.12
pytz==2017.3

Which other driver would I be able to use? I am running it in the virtual environment that I created. Also pip install MySQL-python doesn't work on my Mac as python 2.7 comes pre-installed and to run Django 2.0, I installed Python 3.6 and for that when I run pip3 install MySQL-python , I get an No Module named 'ConfigParser' error.

Answer 1

Try pip3 install Instead of pip install

Since you are using python 3

And check if python3-dev is installed in your system
