Any guess, how to solve this problem?

I tried to explore different solutions on the internet but unable to resolve it. I also tried this stackoverflow answer. But didn't get any luck.

Try this solution:

You can use pymysql instead of mysqlclient

Install pymysql
pip install pymysql

Modify your init.py file

import pymysql

pymysql.install_as_MySQLdb()

You can start your project
