Attempting to pip install MySQL-python in a virtual environment, also getting an error trying to pip install it outside of a virtual environment.
I've read similar questions and tried all the proposed solutions, but 1) none worked and 2) I don't really understand the cause of this still. Could someone help me out?
Apologies in advance for the noobish question, I'm pretty new to this.
Here's the error:
