Use wheel from Gohlke.
pip install mysqlclient‑1.3.13..your Python version.whl

Or better use PyMySQL it's pure Python written MySQL client library.

[kaykay]

C:\Users\smitp\Projects\distancelearning>pip install mysqlclient-1.3.8-cp36-cp36m-win_amd64.whl
Requirement 'mysqlclient-1.3.8-cp36-cp36m-win_amd64.whl' looks like a filename, but the file does not exist
mysqlclient-1.3.8-cp36-cp36m-win_amd64.whl is not a supported wheel on this platform.

says this now.
now where am i going wrong?

[snippsat]

You try to install to 3.6,your first post show that you have 3.7.
Type python in cmd.
Do you see this have 32-bit Python.
Python 3.7.0 [MSC v.1914 32 bit (Intel)]

pip install mysqlclient‑1.3.13‑cp37‑cp37m‑win32.whl

See this have 64-bit Python
Python 3.7.0 [MSC v.1900 64 bit (AMD64)]

pip install mysqlclient‑1.3.13‑cp37‑cp37m‑win_amd64.whl

Also wheel(.whl) file have to be in folder you run from C:\Users\smitp\Projects\distancelearning.

Thanks for the suggestion to downgrade python version. It worked for me after applying that.

[Gribouillis]

Read the error message, in file C:\Users\smitp\Projects\distancelearning\posts\models.py at line 8 the keyword 'defalut' was mistakenly used. I guess it should have been 'default'.
