I’m trying to install django in a virtual environment.

mkdir my_project
cd my_project
python -m venv project_venv
source project_venv/bin/activate
pip install django
pip install mysqlclient
Collecting mysqlclient
Using cached mysqlclient-2.0.3.tar.gz (88 kB)

I’m currently running Fedora release 33 (Thirty Three)
Has anyone solved this issue?

Thanks

Do you need to install the database in virtual environment. I have MariaDB and running outside the environment. I’m able to connect to it via PHP and PHPmyadmin.

Try to install the package providing one of the missing commands:

sudo dnf install mariadb-connector-c-devel
sudo dnf provides \*/mariadb_config

Thanks. install mariadb-devel solved the issue.
