MySQLdb has other issues besides Python 3 support. It's no longer maintained and hasn't been updated in quite some time. The Django documentation (and I) now recommends mysqlclient-python, which is compatible with systems that rely on MySQLdb

Another endorsement from me. We migrated with

    import pymysql as MySQLdb
and everything just worked.
