Please make sure, that MariaDB Connector/C is installed on your system, edit the configuration file 'site.cfg' and set the 'mariadb_config'
option, which should point to the mariadb_config utility.

I have updated setuptools for pip via sudo pip3 install --upgrade setuptools to no avail. This error also occurs when trying to install most sql related modules for example mysql.
I am now able to install MariaDB 1.0.0 (and above) connector with no issues now. If you are receiving an OS error, install the mariadbclient-dev package with sudo apt-get install libmariadb-dev then you can install with pip3 install mariadb.
