installing mysql in virtualenv on osx for django

Question

i've been trying to install mysql for my django project.I am running osx yosemite 10.10 and django=1.7, python 2.7, and also virtual env. when i tried to run pip install MySQL-python then the following error appears:

You are using pip version 6.0.8, however version 7.0.3 is available.
You should consider upgrading via the 'pip install --upgrade pip' command.
DEPRECATION: --no-install and --no-download are deprecated. See  https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/906.

i've globally installed python on my system but django is installed in virtualenv named==env2. when i check my env2's build folder then there is already a folder named s present with all the mysql files.but still the error appears while installing it using pip.where is the problem??

you need to do this in your console:

ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

then

brew install mysql
pip install mysql-python

well i'm running it for django, so how does the ruby command work? also when i tried to run brew install mysql, it showed me an error.

He needs to get the equivalent of the mysql-devel package for CentOS / RHEL or libmysqlclient-dev for Ubuntu/Debian, unless brew handles it all?

also, i have already installed xampp for mysql and phpmyadmin..so is it possible that because of that, the mentioned error is appearing. also i tried to locate my mysqld file, and it's showing when i try to list it recursively from xampp applications directly but when i tried to run it, it didn't appear at all?
