error syntax error : '}' when install mysqlclient from pip (WINDOWS OS)

Question

After running the pip install mysqlclient==1.3.8. I got the following error and have no idea what's wrong. Thanks in advance for any helps.

C:\GoogleCloud\python-flask>pip install mysqlclient==1.3.8

You're probably better installing a pre-built binary: [mysqlclient](http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#mysqlclient) — Peter Wood, Jun 05 '17 at 08:59
