I'm on a Macbook running MacOS High Sierra (Version 10.13.4) I'm running a virtual environment.
Inside the virtual environment, I'm doing a pip install MySQL-python. But its failing with the C compile error shown below.
What's the reason for this error and how can I fix it?
$ pip install MySQL-python==1.2.5
