How to get mysqlclient to work with pipenv?

Question

After installing mysqlclient with 'pipenv install mysqlclient' and attempting to runserver I was getting this error:

django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: Error loading MySQLdb module. Did you install mysqlclient?

Does this answer your question? [Error loading MySQLdb Module 'Did you install mysqlclient or MySQL-python?'](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/46902357/error-loading-mysqldb-module-did-you-install-mysqlclient-or-mysql-python) — 0rdinal, Nov 05 '21 at 09:48
