$ pip3 install mysqlclient
indicates that you are intending to use Python3 install the package. Based on the errors in the description, I believe that MySQL maybe missing from your machine. According to mysqlclient repo, MySQLConnectorC is one of the prerequisite to run mysqlclient on OSX.
brew install mysql-connector-c
should solve your issue.

Try adding MySQL to your PATH :
export PATH=${PATH}:/usr/local/mysql/bin/

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Fandjango only supports Python2 according to its Pypi entry, and you are using Python3 (Python3 does not have the execfile builtin function).

MySQL-python 1.2.5 does not support Python 3. The Django 1.7 docs recommend the fork mysqlclient.

Resolved:
pip3.4 install --allow-external mysql-connector-python
Edit settings.py
'ENGINE': 'mysql.connector.django',

Under Centos: yum install mysql-devel
pip3 install mysqlclient

On Ubuntu or Debian, just sudo apt-get install python-mysqldb. It worked for me
