I am trying to install requirements.txt of a django project and it is giving me the following error:
MySQLdb/_mysql.c(29): fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'mysql.h': No such file or directory
I have tried the following commands but they don't seem to work for me
Commands that I tried:
pip install mysqlclient==1.3.4
pip install --only-binary :all: mysqlclient

The problem is you're using a 32-bit version of Python 3.6, for which there aren't wheels (binary versions) for that version of mysqlclient.
You can see here in the package file list that there is a Windows x32 wheel for 1.3.12 – try that.
pip install mysqlclient==1.3.12
If that fails to install the correct wheel, download mysqlclient-1.3.12-cp36-cp36m-win32.whl from the above listing, then install it with (e.g.) pip install ./mysqlclient-1.3.12-cp36-cp36m-win32.whl
Better still, if you can, switch to the x64 version of Python.
