[Solved] django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: Error loading MySQLdb module. Did you install mysqlclient?

Environment pycharm2021.1.1+python3.7+django3.2.11

When testing the project, I opened the python console and got django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: Error loading MySQLdb module.

The driver is fine, the database configuration is fine, and __init__.py has added this

import pymysql

pymysql. install_as_MySQLdb()

Solution: PIP – M install mysqlclient
