I am having an error when using django to use the Mysql connection to either a local or remote database. Initial error that i had when i tried to install mysqlclient were resolved when in installed using brew mysqlserver and client. I can connect to the local db through command line but when i use the connection through django i get this error.
Exception in thread django-main-thread:
