Same issue I faced with Macbook M1-Pro chip. Now I am able to connect mysql using mysqlclient.

Run

xcode-select --install
brew install zstd
pip install pymysql
pip install wheel 
CFLAGS="-I$(brew --prefix)/include" LDFLAGS="-L$(brew --prefix)/lib" pip install mysqlclient==<version>

Then Put

import pymysql
pymysql.install_as_MySQLdb()

in your settings file at top if you are using django or any other framework

If you don’t want commit this change in your code and using django then Put

import pymysql
pymysql.install_as_MySQLdb()

before

import MySQLdb as Database

in env/lib/python3.8/site-packages/django/db/backends/mysql/base.py

install all other dependency if required. example

1. pip install mysql-connector-python
2. pip install cryptography
