you do not need to install visual studio build tools, instead, try installing the following modules which are all the same ones,

pip install pymysql
pip install mysql-connector
pip install mysql-connector-python

Note:

all the modules listed here are the same thing

Here is the error, looks like you need to install MS visual C++ 14.0

error: Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 is required. Get it with "Build Tools for Visual Studio": https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/ ---------------------------------------- ERROR: Command errored out with exit status 1
