mysqlclient binary packages for Windows are available from Christoph
Gohlke: https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/
If you use these you won't need a C compiler.


As for the C compiler issue, I'd expect installing Visual Studio 2017 to
work, but I've only ever used the standalone "build tools" with Python
on Windows myself...
