Description
Guys, I just tried to install your module, however it asks me for some mysql configuration.
ERROR: Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info:
ERROR: /bin/sh: 1: mysql_config: not found
/bin/sh: 1: mariadb_config: not found
/bin/sh: 1: mysql_config: not found
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
File "/tmp/pip-install-9i47p9nz/mysqlclient/setup.py", line 15, in <module>
metadata, options = get_config()
File "/tmp/pip-install-9i47p9nz/mysqlclient/setup_posix.py", line 65, in get_config
libs = mysql_config("libs")
File "/tmp/pip-install-9i47p9nz/mysqlclient/setup_posix.py", line 31, in mysql_config
raise OSError("{} not found".format(_mysql_config_path))
OSError: mysql_config not found
----------------------------------------
ERROR: Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip-install-9i47p9nz/mysqlclient/
I don't have 'mysql' server on this computer, and also I would like to avoid installing another deamon on my computer.
I would like just your point of view. Thanks

Research direction
Start by reproducing the installation and reviewing setup.py together with mysqlclient/setup_posix.py, especially the mysql_config lookup shown in the traceback. Trace why mysqlclient is required and determine whether the dependency or its installation guidance needs changing; done means the package's MySQL requirement is clearly explained or the unnecessary requirement is removed.
