I have installed mysql-installer-community-5.7.10.0 and to fix me problem I try install pip install mysqlclient or mysql-python but I hade the same reasults like on the image below

CMD printscreen

Since you are using Python 3 you should use mysqlclient. What error do you get when you try to install it? — Alasdair

It's much better to post text than screenshots. I see the error after you do pip install mysql-python, but that's not helpful because mysql-Python doesn't support Python 3. After pip install mysqlclient I just see blank space. What error did you get. — Alasdair

I know. Today I install fresh Windows and when I install all Python stuff I copy ma old project to Python folder but I should open a new project and now works. — darek_82

the practice is to install venv :

sudo pip install virtualenv 

source env/bin/activate

From there you can install first Django and after mysqlclient

sudo pip install django

sudo pip install mysqlclient

I had that problem also and I was forced to uninstall django and python and reinstall it.

Try to reinstall Django first
