When I run the command:
pip3 install mysqlclient or pip install mysqlclient
I get the following error:
Collecting mysqlclient

note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.

The package is broken I guess but I need to run this now to make it work with my Django project. Any suggestions on any alternates or other command I could run to get the same result?
