I don't know if you need that specific module/package. But you can get the official mysql-connector for python by specifying this package:

mysql-connector-python-rf

Works with both Python 2, and 3. (link)

The problem is more so that MySQL-Python does not support any version of Python 3. You should look for an alternative connector library. The error message does not mean anything, only that in the past MySQL-Python at least tried to support 3.0 - 3.2 (before 3.3 was ever released), however they gave up.

Unfortunately, I personally am not using MySQL so I cannot comment about the alternatives; however this question could be of use.
