Installing the python packages in virtual enviroment with sudo
Actually I came across the problem while trying to install mySQL on a Django development virtual environment.
pip install mysqlclient
I tried running sudo pip install mysqlclient. It runs well, but the package gets installed on the global environment. I thought it might require super-user permission to do that. Is there a way to install it on virtual-environment?
python mysql virtualenv

Usepip install --user …to use a local directory. Or use Pyenv (github.com/pyenv/pyenv) to get a local Python installation where you can usepipwithoutsudo.

Actually i forgot to mention the python version which i was using 3.6.7. I somehow managed to install the package on the python 3.5.6. Follow the sequence if you're having the same problem.
Install the additional support repository
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:deadsnakes/ppa
Run update:
sudo apt-get update
Install python 3.5(which works in my case):
sudo apt-get install python3.5
Install python3.5 dev
sudo apt-get install python3.5-dev
Create a virtual-enviroment with python3.5 and perform
pip install mysqlclient
And fortunately that works well!! Boom!!!
