I believe, I also have one solution for this problem. I am using Python 3.8.3. Following is the information <<Python 3.8.3 (tags/v3.8.3:6f8c832, May 13 2020, 22:20:19) [MSC v.1925 32 bit (Intel)] on win32>>
Do the following
Goto - [https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#mysqlclient][1]
Download - mysqlclient-1.4.6-cp38-cp38-win32.whl - as per the Python version I am using.
Ensure that the pip version is 20.0.1. Use python -m pip install -U pip==20.0.1
Run the command pip install mysqlclient-1.4.6-cp38-cp38-win32.whl
This worked for me.
Following were the versions of modules installed on my machine when the command pip install mysqlclient-1.4.6-cp38-cp38-win32.whl
did not work on my machine.
Package Version
asgiref==>3.2.7
Django==>3.0.7
pip==>20.1.1
pytz==>2020.1
setuptools==>47.1.1
sqlparse==>0.3.1
wheel==>0.34.2
Hope this will help

I think the error occurred because Visual C++ 14.0 does not exist. Please refer to the link below.
