mac安装MySQLdb时可能遇到如下问题：
copying MySQLdb/constants/REFRESH.py -> build/lib.macosx-10.13-intel-2.7/MySQLdb/constants
copying MySQLdb/constants/CLIENT.py -> build/lib.macosx-10.13-intel-2.7/MySQLdb/constants

--------------------------------------
解决方法来自Stackoverflow大神：
brew install mysql
brew unlink mysql
brew install mysql-connector-c #或者已经安装了的话 brew link mysql-connector-c
sed -i -e 's/libs="$libs -l "/libs="$libs -lmysqlclient -lssl -lcrypto"/g' /usr/local/bin/mysql_config
pip install MySQL-python
brew unlink mysql-connector-c
brew link --overwrite mysql
安装好MySQLdb后，在python环境中导入MySQLdb，可能遇到如下问题：
>>> import MySQLdb
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in
File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/MySQLdb/__init__.py", line 19, in
import _mysql
ImportError: dlopen(/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/_mysql.so, 2): Library not loaded: @rpath/libmysqlclient.21.dylib
Referenced from: /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/_mysql.so
Reason: image not found
为了解决上述问题，你可能需要：
otool -L /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/_mysql.so
该命令的结果可能是：
/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/_mysql.so:
@rpath/libmysqlclient.21.dylib (compatibility version 21.0.0, current version 21.0.0)
libssl.1.0.0.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1.0.0)
libcrypto.1.0.0.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1.0.0)
/usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1252.50.4)
对此，你需要将前三个lib的位置重新写一下，具体命令：
sudo install_name_tool -change @rpath/libmysqlclient.21.dylib /usr/local/mysql/lib/libmysqlclient.21.dylib /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/_mysql.so
sudo install_name_tool -change libssl.1.0.0.dylib /usr/local/mysql/lib/libssl.1.0.0.dylib /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/_mysql.so
sudo install_name_tool -change libcrypto.1.0.0.dylib /usr/local/mysql/lib/libcrypto.1.0.0.dylib /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/_mysql.so
最终，可以看到不再报错：
>>> import MySQLdb
>>>
>>>
此外，你可能遇到的问题：
>>> import MySQLdb
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in
File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/MySQLdb/__init__.py", line 19, in
import _mysql

这个问题的原因是，你的Pyhon和Mysql的版本不一致导致的。比如我的mysql版本是64位，mac自带的python版本是2.7.10(32 bit)。我自己的解决方法是重新下载了python2.7.15(64bit)，并做了如下配置(vim ~/.bash_profile):
PATH="/usr/local/mysql/bin:${PATH}"
export PATH
export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/mysql/lib/
export VERSIONER_PYTHON_PREFER_64_BIT=yes
export VERSIONER_PYTHON_PREFER_32_BIT=no
