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 :

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/

Why isn't MySQLdb installation working on my 64bit Mac

>>> import MySQLdb
Traceback (most recent call last):

/Users/samwu/.python-eggs/MySQL_python-1.2.3-py2.7-macosx-10.6-intel.egg-tmp/_mysql.so: mach-o, but wrong architecture
I think the problem must be the 64bit version of python and mysql and the img _mysql.so must be 32bit
can anybd give me some suggestions
thx advc!
---------append1------
I install MySQLdb just by modify the mysql_config.path = options['mysql_config'] in setup_posix.py and then rebuild like this python setup.py build and install,the mysql_config is point to your mysql
---------append2------
I can import MySQLdb,but it doesn't work in pydev
I checked the location of MySQLdb module in python shell like this :
import MySQLdb
print MySQLdb.__file__
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/MySQL_python-1.2.3-py2.7-macosx-10.6-intel.egg/MySQLdb/_init_.pyc
then I add the egg to my pydev lib.it works

Do you have multiple versions of python installed? It may have installed to your non-default version and therefore won't work with it.
