I am using Windows 10 and overcame this issue by running the pip install mysql-connector command in Windows PowerShell rather than the Command Prompt

This didnt work for me   pip install mysqlclient   so i found this after a while on stackoverflow   pip install --only-binary  all  mysqlclient   and it went all through  no need for MS Visual C   14 Build tools and stuff  Note  for now this doesnt work with Python3 7  i also had to downgrade to Python 3 6 5

Assume you want to install package MySQL-python on Windows  maybe try pip install command with --global-option  See the example command below  pip install MySQL-python    --force-reinstall --no-cache-dir    --global-option build ext    --global-option  quot -IC  my install MySQL-x64 MySQL Connector C 6 0 2 include quot     --global-option  quot -LC  my install MySQL-x64 MySQL Connector C 6 0 2 lib opt quot     --verbose  For this example  I fully installed 64-bit version of MySQL Connector C in customized location of C  my install MySQL-x64 MySQL Connector C 6 0 2   By the way  I noticed that pip install MySQL-python by default always looks into directory C  Program Files  x86  MySQL MySQL Connector C 6 0 2 include  even if you re using 64-bit and or have installed the driver at a different location  I tested on Python-2 7  and I guess this is a bug of either Python or MySQL-python  Hope the above might be of some help
