Question

When I install mysql-python using pip on mac os, I always get this error, how can I solve this problem?

    ld: warning: directory not found for option '-L/BuildRoot/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.15.Internal.sdk/usr/local/libressl/lib'

That appears to be the system install of Python, you really shouldn’t mess with it. Use virtual environments or similar alternatives. — AMC

As AMC posted in a comment, this error can occur when using the builtin MacOS Python 2. Use a tool like pyenv to install a standard Python distribution, create a virtual environment, and try again.
