Python mysqlclient package building issue⌗

While installing a python environment for django, we need a package called, mysqlclient, which uses wheel to build.

As described in cpanel[1]
cPanel, L.L.C. doesn’t develop or ship Python WSGI web applications,… . when using pip install mysqlclient pip try to build mysqlclient package into a wheel but it is not a wheel.

Alternative approach⌗

So, this library should be installed from the root shell system wide to solve this issue.

For Debian/ Ubuntu⌗

sudo apt-get install python3-dev default-libmysqlclient-dev build-essential

For Red Hat/ CentOS⌗

sudo yum install python3-devel mysql-devel

If this approach doesn’t work, we will really appreciate it if we get docker container support or, shell access support in cpannel.
