mysql-python won't install. Keeps throwing up errors

[1t72@]

Hi,

I am trying to install via terminal as opposed to the image.

Upon searching around it seems as though mysql-python is not supported in python3 and throws up various issues like

Code:

ImportError: No module named 'ConfigParser'

trying to use 

Code:

pip2 install mysql-python

 does not help either as mysql-python fails to build and throws errors such as 

Code:

error: duplicate member ‘reconnect’

Is there any way that support could be added for newer mysql packages such as mysqlclient?
BTW: This is for the installation from script. This is a great project and I would love to give it a spin but this issue keeps popping up.
Thanks in advance for any help!
