How to use MYSql from xampp for python 3?

Question

I am getting below error when I try to install MySQL client using the command "pip3 install mysqlclient".

Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info:
    /bin/sh: mysql_config: command not found
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
      File "/private/var/folders/l1/f1klm_s92g53c9v2p1vrdwg80000gn/T/pip-install-a0t6svmj/mysqlclient/setup.py", line 18, in <module>
        metadata, options = get_config()
      File "/private/var/folders/l1/f1klm_s92g53c9v2p1vrdwg80000gn/T/pip-install-a0t6svmj/mysqlclient/setup_posix.py", line 53, in get_config

        raise EnvironmentError("%s not found" % (mysql_config.path,))
    OSError: mysql_config not found

XAMPP version:- 7.2.3.0 Python:- 3.7

Can anybody help me to solve this error? Thanks

To install the MySQL-python package, type the following command:

Code sample

hostname = 'localhost'
username = 'USERNAME'
password = 'PASSWORD'
database = 'DBNAME'
def doQuery( conn ) :
cur = conn.cursor()

cur.execute( "SELECT fname, lname FROM employee" )
for firstname, lastname in cur.fetchall() :
    print firstname, lastname
print "Using MySQLdb…"
import MySQLdb
myConnection = MySQLdb.connect( host=hostname, user=username, passwd=password, db=database )
doQuery( myConnection )
myConnection.close()
print "Using pymysql…"
import pymysql
myConnection = pymysql.connect( host=hostname, user=username, passwd=password, db=database )
doQuery( myConnection )
myConnection.close()
print "Using mysql.connector…"
import mysql.connector
myConnection = mysql.connector.connect( host=hostname, user=username, passwd=password, db=database )
doQuery( myConnection )
myConnection.close()
