I'm new to Django and I'm facing some issues installing mysqlclient for my application running this command

pip install mysqlclient

I'm getting an error ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pip._internal.operations.build.wheel_legacy'

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\Ahmad\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38-32\lib\runpy.py", line 194, in _run_module_as_main

I have Python 3.8.3 and pip 20.2.3

what is the cause of this error and how can I solve it?

    If you switch to 64-bit Python on Windows, then pip install mysqlclient will be able to install the official wheel. Commented Sep 21, 2020 at 14:11
