Your traceback is not pip. Its Django.
Re-try pip with logging.

Do you use 32bit or arm windows?
Only amd64 is supported at the moment. You need to fix your build issue by yourself.

I thought I had released a Wheel for Python 3.12, but I had not.
Please wait until the end of this year for the release.

I thought I had released a Wheel for Python 3.12, but I had not. Please wait until the end of this year for the release.

What does this mean, that we should downgrade version 3.11 and wait for the version (MySQL client) which will be compatible with 3.12?

Jamshid Khaksaar · Answer 14 · Wed Dec 06 2023 18:56:05 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

Alright, now that sounds good. I will stay on Python 3.8 because it seems most of the libraries are working with no issues.

Thank you very much, it works for me. For people who are new to python and need to manually install the packageagd, just follow this video.

This explains how to locally install a python package. Once again thank you all for your contributions. I can now close the post.

Why is this closed ? The original issue isn't solved.
Here are reproduction steps :

Install Python 3.12.1 64 bits on Windows 10
Run pip install mysql
You get the fatal error C1083 for mysql.h
