Python import MySQLdb on MacOS M1 doesn't work

I have Python 3.8.8, mysql and mysql-client installed. I also have installed both mysql-connector-python==8.0.26 & mysqlclient==2.1.0 library using pip.
But the line
python -c "import MySQLdb"
returns this error :

I believe this error is due to MacOS M1.

A good discussion is in https://github.com/PyMySQL/mysqlclient/issues/496 and this problem arises that the architecture (ARM64 or Intel) of the Python is not consistent with the architecture of mysqlclient. So, check which python you are using (since you might use some python you are not intended) and the consistence between them

Even though, you have installed mysqlclient, you need to install the Oracle native client library for it to work. You can install the client using brew.
brew install mysql-client

as this answer said
MySQLdb doesn’t support Python 3 you should be importing
import mysql.connector

ImportError with psycopg2

I've been trying to install psycopg2 on my OS X Yosemite machine for the past two days. I have python, postgreSQL installed. I've tried installing psycopg2 using:
sudo pip install psycopg2
It gets successfully installed, but when I import it in the python shell, I get this:
import psycopg2
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.4/lib/python3.4/site-packages/psycopg2/__init__.py",

I've looked at all the Stack Overflow questions related to this. Nothing works!
I've also tried mac ports and I get a similar result.
update:
I did what this said. Now I'm getting this:

Not able to import mysqldb in python on mac

I am new to mac and to python. I have installed mysqldb for python mac. But when i try to import it, this is the error i am getting :
Traceback (most recent call last):

Why am i getting this error? How do i resolve it? I have tried a crazy number of answers posted here on SO but nothing seems to work. What should i do to resolve this error?
Thanks.

Did you use sudo when you installed?
sudo pip install mysql-python
Then add this line to your ~/.bash_profile
export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/mysql/lib/

Error installing psycopg2 on Mac OS 10.6

Hi i am trying to install psycopg2 on Mac 10.6. After i install i get this error when i try to import
import psycopg2
Traceback (most recent call last):

I got the source from http://initd.org/psycopg/download/ and tried to build from source using setup/easy_install with the value for pg_config set to /Library/PostgreSQL/8.4/bin/pg_config in setup.cfg
I tried all these alternatives and nothing seems to work

http://initd.org/psycopg/articles/2010/11/11/links-about-building-psycopg-mac-os-x/
Any ideas whats happening here??

According to this link, psycopg2 seems must work in 32bit mode on MacOSX

Getting python MySQLdb to run on Ubuntu

I created a virtualbox with a fresh install of ubuntu 9.10.
I am trying to get MySQLdb to run on python but I'm failing at the import MySQLdb
I first tried sudo easy_install MySQL_python-1.2.3c1-py2.6-linux-i686.egg and then sudo apt-get install python-mysqldb.
Both apparently installed ok, but gave me the following error message when in python I have the import line:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/MySQL_python-1.2.3c1-py2.6-linux-i686.egg/MySQLdb/__init__.py", line 19, in <module>
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/MySQL_python-1.2.3c1-py2.6-linux-i686.egg/_mysql.py", line 7, in <module>
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/MySQL_python-1.2.3c1-py2.6-linux-i686.egg/_mysql.py", line 6, in __bootstrap__
ImportError: libmysqlclient_r.so.15: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I have already installed MySQL and it is running, if that matters at all.
I tried following this, but failed in step 2

Your MySQLdb egg installation looks like it is not working properly. You should go into /usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages and remove it.
The Ubuntu python-mysqldb package should work fine. Unless you have a good reason, you should stick to your distribution's package manager when installing new software.
