I guess you need to install the following:

pip install mysqlclient

In Python 3, ConfigParser has been renamed to configparser for PEP 8 compliance.

mysqlclient is a fork of mysql-python, with Python 3 support.

Kindly make sure you have installed the following before installing mysqlclient:

sudo apt-get install python3-dev libmysqlclient-dev

For Lunix and Mac Machines, install the mysqlclient pre-requisites via:

Debian / Ubuntu - sudo apt-get install python-dev default-libmysqlclient-dev

Red Hat / CentOS - sudo yum install python-devel mysql-devel

macOS (Homebrew) - brew install mysql-client
