Answer 1

It says it in the error message:

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'ConfigParser'

Python 3 ImportError: No module named 'ConfigParser'

Answer 2

1. ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'ConfigParser' tells us, that you need ConfigParser to be installed first.

2. MySQL-python-1.2.5 seems pretty old. Not sure if it supports Python 3. Maybe try https://pypi.python.org/pypi/mysqlclient ?

3. If you're on Windows, sometimes it helps to download and install from the .whl
