Sadly, MySQL-python doesn't support Python 3 right now. You'll have to either rollback to python 2.x, or use another package. Source — aIKid

In python3 ConfigParser was renamed to configparser. It seems MySQL-python does not support python3. Try:

$ pip install PyMySQL

PyMySQL is a different module, but it supports python3.

@PyDroid As Piotr Migdal said in his comment in Question. you should use mysqlclient for MySQL for Python3 in Django. docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.8/ref/databases/… Its recommended choice for using MySQL with Django.

In python3, install MySQL-python-1.2.5 by source, and before that, you need to modify source as mentioned below:

Replace ConfigParser by configparser in file MySQL-python-1.2.5/setup_posix.py file
Modify line 191, except TypeError, m: to except TypeError as m: in file MySQL-python-1.2.5/build/lib.linux-x86_64-3.4/MySQLdb/cursors.py file
Modify line 250, except TypeError, msg: to except TypeError as msg: in same cursors.py file
Modify line 36, raise errorclass, errorvalue to raise errorclass(errorvalue) in MySQL-python-1.2.5/build/lib.linux-x86_64-3.4/MySQLdb/connections.py file

To understand more, see Python3 porting guide.
