By developing a Django-Project with the latest version of Django 6.0 and Python 3.14 on windows, it will not be able to install mysqlclient because the whl has not yet been officially released.
I try other MySQL drivers from Django documentation but they are more outdated or some Django features, such as inspectdb, simply don’t work.
For development on Windows, I compile my own binary mysqlclient-2.2.7-cp314-cp314-win_amd64.whl from the source code of mysqlclient.
I prepared it for the talk “Creating RESTapi services based on raw Django,” presented on 02.12.2025, at the DEV.BG meetup.
P.S. Someone else did the same thing. If my whl didn’t help, you can try the following: Python 3.14 build by 0x78f1935 · Pull Request #767 · PyMySQL/mysqlclient · GitHub
