are you trying to install a package for python 2 in python 3? I think that package is for python < 3.0 — Padraic Cunningham

MySQL-python 1.2.5 does not support Python 3. The Django 1.7 docs recommend the fork mysqlclient.

I've seen questions from users struggling to get MySQL connector to work. The Django docs recommend mysqlclient.

DEPRECATION: --allow-external has been deprecated and will be removed in the future. Due to changes in the repository pr otocol, it no longer has any effect.

On Ubuntu or Debian, just sudo apt-get install python-mysqldb. It worked for me
