我在OSX 10.6.6上遇到了同样的问题。但只是在终端上简单的easy_install mysql-python并不能解决这个问题，因为另一个问题随之而来:

错误:命令'gcc-4.2'失败，退出状态为1。

显然，这个问题是在从XCode3 (OSX 10.6自带)升级到XCode4之后出现的。这个更新的版本删除了对建造ppc拱门的支持。如果是同样的情况，请尝试在easy_install mysql-python之前执行以下操作

sudo bash
export ARCHFLAGS='-arch i386 -arch x86_64'
rm -r build
python setup.py build
python setup.py install

非常感谢Ned Deily提供的解决方案。检查在这里

安装命令行工具适用于我:

xcode-select --install

我通过使用pip安装MySQL-python库克服了同样的问题。当我第一次在settings.py中更改数据库设置并执行makemigrations命令时，您可以看到控制台上显示的消息(解决方案如下消息所示，请参阅)。

我是如何让它工作的:

virtualenv -p python3.5 env/test

在找到我的环境后:

pip install pymysql
pip install django

然后，我运行startproject，在manage.py中，我添加了这个:

+ try:
+     import pymysql
+     pymysql.install_as_MySQLdb()
+ except:
+     pass

同时，更新了内部设置:

DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql',
        'NAME': 'foobar_db',
        'USER': 'foobaruser',
        'PASSWORD': 'foobarpwd',
    }
}

我也有configparser==3.5.0安装在我的virtualenv，不确定这是否是必需的…

希望能有所帮助，

执行此命令

sudo pip install mysql-python;

现在可以运行命令了。

python manage.py startapp filename;

此问题是由于MySQL for Python适配器安装不完整/不正确造成的。具体来说，我必须编辑mysql_config文件的路径，使其指向/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config——本文将更详细地讨论:http://dakrauth.com/blog/entry/python-and-django-setup-mac-os-x-leopard/
