Django mysqlclient install
You don't download the whl file yourself. You use pip to install it directly:
pip install mysqlclient.Note that you don't need this to try Django; nor do you need Apache. Python and Django is already an "integrated development environment" since Python includes sqlite3, and Django includes a development server.
I'd recommend that you read up the basics of virtualenv (http://docs.python-guide.org/en/latest/dev/virtualenvs/) and continue from there.
Basically following commands should get you running:
$ cd ~/your_project_directory$ virtualenv env$ source env/bin/activate$ pip install django$ pip install mysql-pythonMake sure you have MySQL (server) installed on your system. If you're on Mac OS X, brew (http://brew.sh/) is quite handy.
Here is my solution. Make sure your virtualenv is activated, then type the following:
apt-get install default-libmysqlclient-devpip install mysqlclient
