If you use mysql database in your Django project and when you run
runserver command and get an error message similar to this: " Error
loading MySQLdb module Reason: image not found" that means your El Capitan
struggles to find necessary libraries.
The issue can be fixed with these two symlinks, just run following commands in
your terminal and you're set:
sudo ln -s /usr/local/mysql/lib/libmysqlclient.18.dylib /usr/local/lib/libmysqlclient.18.dylib
sudo ln -s /usr/local/mysql/lib /usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql
