all the reasons and solutions found on the Internet have been tried, and the mysql-devel that needs to be installed has also been installed, but this error is still reported.
can be installed using yum install MySQL-python, but it cannot be used in a virtual environment.
both pip method installation and python setup.py installation will be reported. Is there a solution to this? Thank you!
