Per the Django documentation:

MySQL Notes:

Well, pip install mysqlclient fails. What a surprise.

Digging into this, we find we can:

dpc@LT3-Insp17-2017:~$ sudo apt-get install python-dev default-libmysqlclient-dev
dpc@LT3-Insp17-2017:~$ sudo apt update
dpc@LT3-Insp17-2017:~$ sudo apt-get install python3-dev
dpc@LT3-Insp17-2017:~$ pip install mysqlclient
  Failed building wheel for mysqlclient
  Failed to build mysqlclient

Going here (on the mysqlclient-python repo) we find this remedy: Failed building wheel for mysqlclient #74

...which we try:

dpc@LT3-Insp17-2017:~$ pip install -U wheel
dpc@LT3-Insp17-2017:~$ pip install mysqlclient
Successfully installed mysqlclient-1.4.4
