not able to install mysqldb-python

[Arshpreet Singh]

I am trying to run django project in virtual environment. it needs mysql database library but when I try to install that it returns the error that configparser is not installed but I have installed configparser still the error remains same, is this ubuntu bug?

It didn’t. mysql-python is installable with Python 2 only, so you
probably installed it for your system Python 2 install instead of your
Python 3 django virtualenv.
Either way, please use mysqlclient instead, as recommended by the
Django developers.
