Installing MySQLdb mysqlclient with Homebrew and pip in OS X Mojave

First I used Homebrew to install the MySQL server along with mysql_config, needed to compile the Python extension:

brew install mysql

I had to then use this incantation to get pip install mysqlclient to work:

LIBRARY_PATH=$LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib/ pip install mysqlclient
