Answer 1

It says that it requires Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0. Have you tried installing that version of Microsoft Visual C++? And do take a look at this post too. Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 is required (Unable to find vcvarsall.bat)

Answer 2

Go to this website: https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#mysqlclient

Get your compatible mysqlclient version as per python version and windows version 32/64 bit then run following command

pip install mysqlclient-1.4.2-cp37-cp37m-win32.whl

in my case it was python 3.7 and 32-bit Windows so I downloaded such file mysqlclient-1.4.2-cp37-cp37m-win32.whl
