I had basically the same issue in Ubuntu, and found I needed to install the “python3-dev default-libmysqlclient-dev build-essential” despite already having installed MySQL previously and verifying it worked in my VS Code terminal.

I ran

sudo apt-get install python3-dev default-libmysqlclient-dev build-essential

and then was able to successfully install mysql client in my virtual environment! Please see what you need to run for your OS.
